Shortcut to having to cppy/backup files all the time
Hey guys,
if you've worked in the unix environment long enough, i'm sure you all have been faced with situations where you have to create a backup of a file before you edit it. now the problem arises when your job is mostly all about editing files.
how do you guys normally go about this. say on a daily basis you edit multiple files, more than once a day. meaning, each file gets editted at least twice in one day. obviously, having to "cp" each time you want to edit is a pain.
SkySmart.. hello
you can automate the job say once daily by a cron job.
Cron Daemon runs in the background and is basically used for backup. you can put the command say
as a cron job that executes and will backup all the text files(here I assume you want text files in to a temporary backup directory.
search the man page for cron and find. to look for more options that you may need.
Regards.

thanks a million for your response.
is there a much simpler way to this? something very straightforward doesn't need layers of work like cron, find. something that involves a little bit of set up at the beginning but never needs additional work from the point it was set up and working to the foreseeable future?
