If this is something you need to do regularly, you might consider using flexible replication. You could use a 'pull' configuration to sync on demand, rather than pushing each update as it happens.
XQSync does not do this for a couple of reasons. As David pointed out, timestamps aren't really enough to ensure identical content. Also, many applications turn off the prop:last-modified timestamp. So XQSync only offers the SKIP_EXISTING option. You're welcome to patch in the behavior you need, though, and create a github pull request. -- Mike On 10 Feb 2012, at 06:56 , Murray, Gregory wrote: > I need to copy documents from one server (development) to another > (production) but copy only documents that have changed, that is, each > document on development that has a more recent last-modified property than > the corresponding document on production. > > Does xqsync have an option for this?
