way to copy only changed files
Hello, we are going through a restructoring of file systems and will need to copy the contents of one file system to another box, then a few days later copy it again. Is there a way on the second copy to only copy files that have changed? Thanks in advance

rsync may suit your needs.

either rsync as mentioned or the find-command with the "-mtime" clause. man find for details.

cd /sourcedir;
find . -xdev -depth -print | cpio -pdm /destin_dir

# After some days ,

cd /sourcedir;
find . -xdev -depth -print | cpio -pdm /destin_dir

The second copy will copy only those files which were changed / created from the earlier copy made.

Regards,

Kaps
