advanced rsync scripting - rsync folders
Hi all!

Ok, so, here is what i need... I need to rsync two folders ("orig_folder" and "sync_folder"), every night (starting at 2.30 am).
Since the "orig_folder" has much more space, i need to sync ONLY "latest" files/folders, that are all together "only 120 GB" big...

Since i think, the rsync command does not have all these feturs and "find" command has to be involved, i really need your help, how to set these thing up...

I would really appreciate your help, THANKS to all!

You could use the find command to generate an include file containing files that are newer than a certain date, and then use rsync's --include-from=filename option so that it only processes those files.
