The 200-220 periodic files under daily expect that the directory
/var/backups exist when they run to back up various files. If you
delete this directory, the "cp" commands will error.

There seems to be two ways to fix the files.

	1. Add a "if [ ! -d $bak ] ; then exit fi" to the top
	   of the files, or

	2. Add a "mkdir -p $bak" to the top.

Do others consider this an error, and if so which is the preferred
fix?

Thanks,
