wow, thank you both for your input. i was going to look at rsync, but wasnt sure
couple of questions, explain how the -del or -delete works. is that the part that will remove a file from the dest if it has been removed from source? man rsync says -del and -delete are a bit different
if i have symlinks in certain directories that point to files that are being synced anyway do i still use the -l
---------- Post updated at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous update was at 08:32 PM ----------
think i answered my own questions
--ignore-existing will not sync the file if it exists on the dest, but will it check to see if the file has changed first before it skips it?

copyfs-mount
COPYFS-MOUNT(1) User Commands COPYFS-MOUNT(1)
NAME
copyfs-mount - mounts a versioned file system
SYNOPSIS
copyfs-mount version-directory mount-point
DESCRIPTION
This script lets you mount a CopyFS file system. version-directory is the directory where the files and version information will be stored
by CopyFS.
When using CopyFS for the first time, copyfs-mount will create the required files in the version-directory before running copyfs-daemon.
mount-point is the directory where the copyfs file system will be mounted. This is where the users will have access to the files.
If you want to mount a CopyFS at '/mnt/fs', whose version directory is at /var/versions, you would use:
root@host# copyfs-mount /var/versions /mnt/fs
To unmount it, simply do:
root@host# umount /mnt/fs
As you would do for any other filesystem.
You can also allow an ordinary non-root users to mount and unmount CopyFS filesystems provided that the user is added to the 'fuse' group.
Ordinary users will be able unmount the filesystem, using the fusermount command:
$ fusermount -u mount-point
