It's making directories all the way down that worries me. I cringe a little, because what if a user accidentally specifies a path to some place unintended? It's likely they'll complain that their backup directory is empty, while meanwhile the actual backup is filling up their USB drive or something. Or filling up a "download" directory instead of a "downloads" directory. But in general it's a good idea at some point.
