> find . -mtime -${DAYS} | cpio -o

That will break if a file name has new lines.

		Is that really an issue? I just haven't seen a file name with a newline in it. If so, couldn't it just be run with -o0?

How does that reach into app folders where adb has no permissions ?

		/sdcard is just the user-visible internal storage (the same thing that shows up via MTP if you connect via USB), and ADB can access that fine.
