to copy all files in /dir1 modified within the last 5 days to
/dir2:
$ find /dir1 -mtime -5 | xargs -I {} cp {} /dir2
if the filenames have whitespace in them, you can use this trick:
$ find /dir1 -mtime -5 -print0 | xargs -0 -I {} cp {} /dir2
for more details on selecting by time:
$ man find
pay particular attention to the options -atime, -amin, -ctime,
-cmin, -mtime, -mmin, and -daystart.

Actually I need to copy this on to another server with same folder
structure. I think I need to explain bit of history.
I had a server crash last week, and we have restored the files from
the tape. However during this period of making the server up, the
users having adding or changed files from our backup Server (Samba
server which rsync to production server every night.) now I need to
copy the files which user added/ modify last 7 days. Ideally if I can
get this option in rsync it would be better. Otherwise I need to have
a method so that all changed files to go on the relevant folder on
the production server. I cannot take the full files in the backup
files since they are historical backup and there are some unwanted
files.
Can I use scp instead of cp in your statement?. But how does it take
the same directory name as the original location?
Eg:from ServerA/FLDR2/FLDR3/Filename should go to
ServerB/FLDR2/FLDR3/FILENAME
Only change is the server name all other values will remain same.
Any help would be really appreciated.
One approach would be to use the find command given above to generate a
list of files that have changed. Then pass that list to rsync via the
'--files-from' option to transfer them to the other server.

Oh, you mean this?
I know this has never been brought up before, certainly not in the
last month or so, but this list has some conventions:
1) Trim your replies
2) Bottom post
See why?

[CentOS] Copying files from specific date.

Use find with either -exec or with xargs, and pass it either a -ctime
or -mtime option for what you need.
for example, find /path/ -type f -mtime -2 -name '*.txt' -exec cp {}
/path/to/copy/to/
this may not be 100% syntactically correct, but should give you the
general idea.
