Simon,
Is it possible to have cp skip some directories when using cp -R?
Dunno, but cpio -p would be able to solve your problem.
$ find . -print | cpio -pdmuv /new/directory
Find simply generates a list of file names, which cpio reads on it's
standard input
as a list to copy. Obviously
Thanks all, seems like rsync is what I have been looking for.

mind is using find with -prune and -exec cp {} \; dest

I don't think so. Looked into it just the other day. I think find is
your friend or start copying from deeper down the tree?

Well, that depends on what we're talking about. In a script context,
you could have an ignore list, and by checking if folder1 is in
it, the script would that folder and move on.
(insert your favorite shell hack here)
But strictly as a command, you have regexes available. By copying
