nssbackup has this functionality. The backup directory is created when 
set for the first time, and *no* directory will be created during 
backup. So, if the directory is not there, no backup is made.

nssbackup is still in alpha state, however, and we're working on merging 
in sbackup (or its features) into it.

Please have a look at https://launchpad.net/nssbackup if you're
interested.
