Hello,
First I'll explain the situation: I have an archive folder with images, =
=20
text and other type of files. I used to backup this folder from time to =
=20
time but at some point I stop doing that and got confuse (or messy:) and =
=20
start to edit files in the backup and/or to add files to the 'current' =
=20
folder.
I'd like to rationalized that by synchronizing the backup and current in =
=20
both way:
- keeping only the version of the files which have been the most =20
recently changed.
- if a file or a subfolder is present in one folder and not the other =20
I'd like to always keep it.
I look into mann rsync but I'm always asked to choose one source and one =
=20
destination, which is obviously not what I want to do. Is there a way to =
=20
do that with rsync? How?
Maybe with another software?
you could get unison to do it I think. That seems to fit the model of
what it does. I use it, but it's been so long since I started using
it, that I don't know how it reacts the first time you use
it. Certainly worth a shot though.
Unison when first running will give you a pretty good choice folloing
your criteria... But this is not for sure. You can tune the way it do it
through option like -prefer and -preferpartial...
