I'm not sure if there should be ANY regular files in the /dev directory...
And, how can /dev/abc/xyz/a_2_123020131.log result in a copy /dev/abc/xyz/copy/a_2_12302013.log?

Latest compared by files' time stamps or file name elements? Can there be duplicate file names across directories, and what to do in such case?
