Gentlemen, wouldn't it be great if instead of

# find /mnt/usb/thumb/backups/ -mtime -4 -type f -exec cp -av {} 
/jidanni/backups/ \;
'/mnt/usb/thumb/backups/root_bkp2016-05-10-08-22-18.bz2' -> '/jidanni/backups/'
cp: cannot create regular file '/jidanni/backups/': No such file or directory
'/mnt/usb/thumb/backups/dan_home_bkp2016-05-10-08-21-36.bz2' -> 
'/jidanni/backups/'
cp: cannot create regular file '/jidanni/backups/': No such file or directory
'/mnt/usb/thumb/backups/etc_bkp2016-05-10-08-22-18.bz2' -> '/jidanni/backups/'
cp: cannot create regular file '/jidanni/backups/': No such file or directory

we could stop right away?

That's way find needs an -exec-die-upon-error a/k/a -exece or something.

Or perhaps -exec ... -o -die

How could find live without a -die action?
