What is the syntax to copy only new files from a CD backup to a hard disk? I make backups of my files onto CDs and copy them onto another computer to maintain redunancy. Probably there is a better way to do this (sync, etc.) so I would also appreciate knowing what is a better way to do this.
What I have been using is this: cp -rp /mnt/cdrom/foldername /home/joe/foldername <E> That works, but I don't want to re-write files that are unchanged, and I don't want to write over any files that are newer on the destination system. How should this syntax be changed? --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
