Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I was going to ask if there was a way to prioritize which files to include in the archive first. Using your method I could run something such as (oversimplified):

  mybackupscript fileset1 && mybackupscript fileset2 && mybackupscript fileset3

So files in fileset1 would be uploaded before the others.
