What I do is move the files away and create symlinks.
I usually leave the associated *.png thumbnails alone.

I use a date based script like:
	for f in *_200601*.nuv ; do
		echo "`date` moving '$f'"
		mv $f /Backup/Path
		ln -s /Backup/Path/$f .
	done 2>&1 | tee -a move.log
and I do check the log...
