Hello karthik771,

Could you please try it in a single command, if you are not using your other variables and let us know how it goes then.
Code:
find complete_path_to_your_files*.format_of_your_files -type f -mtime -1 | tail -20 > check.log

If you want all those variables then you could try following on same too.
Code:
BackupFile="$(find -type f -mtime -1 -printf '\n%P')"
content=$(echo "$BackupFile" | tail -20)
echo "$content" > check.log

I am considering here you need last 20 records(files) which we will get from findcommand.

Thanks,
R. Singh
