Hi zorrokan...

Apologies for any typos...

From #5 you say it is manually launched either by the GUI or Command Line at any random time(s) and shut down also at any random time(s).

So you need to detect when the program has actually started running to automatically do a backup to '/full/path/to/some/folder1' and when it is exited/quitted to save another backup to '/full/path/to/some/folder2'?

So you wish this script to run 24/7 in the background?

Do you want the copy all files into '.....folder1' and similarly copy all other files into '.....folder2' or do _zipped_ versions of the same?
