Thanks for the explanation RDC,

I have the following two little bash scripts now, both working as hoped. =)

Code:
#! /bin/bash
#create_bak.sh
# find all .htaccess files and create a copy of them in their current dir as .htaccess_bak
# run this to backup .htaccess files prior to making proposed mass update.
find . -iname ".htaccess" -exec cp -v {} {}_bak \;

and

Code:
#! /bin/bash
#restore_bak.sh
# Find all .htaccess_bak files to restore, and change thier name to .htaccess to overwrite existing file. (vebose)
# Use this if the modifcations do not work as intended.
find . -type f -name ".htaccess_bak" |while read file
do
  mv -v "$file" "${file%_bak}"
done
