find new files and compress them
Hi!
First off I'd like to stress that I'm a true dummy
I have a website with SSH access and since it has user generated content I want to backup my website every day end send it through FTP to a different server. I got it working for my mysql database, so the only thing remaining are the files. I was thinking of doing the following:
Since the total size of all files is too much to backup every day, I want to search for all new files (i know, it doesn't account for files which have been removed) added in the past 24 hour (so since the last backup). I believe the following line does just that:
find domain.tld -mtime -1
Then I want to compress all these files (and of course keep the directory structure) into one file. I just know how to compress an entire folder:
tar -cvzf domain.tld.tar.gz domain.tld
So the question is, how do I combine these to functions??
Cheers & Thanks a bunch!

libgphoto2_port
LIBGPHOTO2_PORT(3) The gPhoto2 Reference (the man LIBGPHOTO2_PORT(3) NAME
libgphoto2_port - cross-platform port access library SYNOPSIS
#include <gphoto2/gphoto2_port.h> DESCRIPTION
The libgphoto2_port library was written to provide libgphoto2(3) with a generic way of accessing ports. In this function, libgphoto2_port is the successor of the libgpio library. Currently, libgphoto2_port supports serial (RS-232) and USB connections, the latter requiring libusb to be installed. The autogenerated API docs will be added here in the future. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
IOLIBS If set, defines the directory where the libgphoto2_port library looks for its I/O drivers (iolibs). You only need to set this on OS/2 systems and broken/test installations. LD_DEBUG Set this to all to receive lots of debug information regarding library loading on ld based systems. USB_DEBUG If set, defines the numeric debug level with which the libusb library will print messages. In order to get some debug output, set it to 1. SEE ALSO
