You could link /myth/backups to a link in /myth/recordings like:

cd /myth/recordings
ln -sf /myth/backups ./backups

That will put a link (directory) in /myth/recordings called backups that's
linked to /myth/backups.  If you want the content of backups in recordings
without a link, not sure how you'd do that...  Check on the man page for
ln, though, I may have reversed the options.
