Copy unique files between two directories in Solaris

Hi,

My requirement is to have a shell script:

SOURCE_DIR=/usr/logs/restore/ --> Contains multiple subdirectories
TARGET_DIR=/usr/data/logs --> Existing folders which contain similar subdirectories

I want to copy only newer or uniquie files which are present in $SOURCE_DIR and its subdirectories to $TARGET_DIR exacly under the respective folders. It should not overwrite the existing files at $TARGET_DIR and its subdirs.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

regards

Sujoy
