Err .. only if the backupscipt.sh returned a logical positive (not null, not
zero) (??)

I believe (but not positive about) bash efficiently handling logical
operators, so if the first argument returned a false, there is no point in
evaluating the second argument since the overall result is already
determined.

I don't remember what the default return value is, but if the above fails,
this will be one thing to check.
