That's true, in general, but it's not applicable here. I think you got a wrong idea of mhbd's plan.
If we concentrate on one customer only, then it's not simply
it's more like
If you run the latter, the folder reports is copied to new-dest, but then you don't know which customer do those reports belong to.
The result should be new-dest/fd000100/reports
A work-around could be to manually create the new-dest/fd000100 folder before copying like so
but manually created (or restored with non-root?) folder raises another issues, like vbe has forseen correctly.
So tried:
cp -r -p test1/ user@machine:///srv/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/backup/
but this didn't work either :(
Anyone able to help with this?
Many thanks

I have a bash script, that loops through a folders files and all subfolders for .shtml files.
It looks for a string and replaces it, creating a backup of the original file.
