But maybe you should not use this (in my opinion) unusual command "find

Benjamin, thanks for the suggestion, but I had a problem with the
script:
Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
I don't understand this error.
It means that when tar followed all the instructions you gave it,
there was nothing left to put in the archive, so it sanely refuses to
create the archive. I looks like you're missing the final path on that
line. man tar
