if ! cmp "$FILE" "$TARGET/$TIMESTAMP/$DATE" > /dev/null 2>&1
logger -t sd-autocopy "copying of $FILE failed"
fi
Do I have to include the part \n' "$FILE" in the logger part?
Could you please check is this is right?
And how would you do the part with the log file?

Please use code tags as require red by forum rules!
You don't need to use a printf style format string operand with logger, but you do need a then in your if statement.
Code:
if ! tmp "$FILE" "$TARGET/$TIMESTAMP/$DATE" > /dev/null 2>&1; then
logger -t sd-autocopy "copying of $FILE failed"
fi
I think it would also be wise to keep track of whether or not any copies failed and include an indication of success or failure in the notify-send at the end of the background job part of your script.
