After few hours of hard work the answer has been found on another forum (can't post link).
It's on KornShell
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
DEST_DIR=/destination
HIST_DIR=/images_bck
SOURCE_DIR=/images
 
find ${SOURCE_DIR} -name "*.jpg" >${HIST_DIR}/tmp.file
exec 3<${HIST_DIR}/tmp.file
 
while read file <&3;do
  file_name=$(basename "${file}")
  if [ ! -f "${HIST_DIR}/${file_name}.old" ];then
    cp -p "${file}" "${HIST_DIR}/${file_name}.old"
    cp "${file}" "${DEST_DIR}"
  fi
done
exec 3<&-
[ -f ${HIST_DIR}/tmp.file ] && rm -f ${HIST_DIR}/tmp.file
