Is it possible to alter the location of the original "backup" files that are created during execution to an external drive?

No.  This would defeat the purpose, which is to leave the original file untouched.  It is only renamed.  Moving it would risk data loss.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Good point.  I check my originals against the edits with an image duplicate finder to make sure (and I doubt Exiftool would do this) that the images weren't damaged.  I'm running up on some space issues.
