I tell emacs to create all of the files in "~/.backups", and it names them using the full pathname with "/" replaced with "!". So "~/foo/bar.txt" -> "!home!username!foo!bar.txt~"
If you're trying to replace find, please add something equivalent to find's -print0/-ls to feed it's output into xargs. Otherwise it may not work correctly on unusually named files (not that I've tried it yet).
I really like the hearty amount of configurability they make available thru the control panels. They're not afraid of giving you a lot of options, yet it's organized well, easy to use, and the defaults are sensible.
You can also use the outlook COM API and extract the data from the running outlook instance [1]. See [2] for a python example that extracts a '.ics' file.
