just wondering if there is any free software to back-up and keep
up-to-date certain folders on my hard drive to external hard drive?
basically i need to be able to plug in my external USB HD and be able
to tell which files have changed and which files are new and copy them
down.
i thought about using CVS or Subversion and checking in the
directories i want to keep backed up, but perhaps there's something
better suited for the job out there?
filesync(1)
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/cmd/filesync/
Even has a README in the source to show how it works.
I use filesync(1) all the time to maintain identical copies of my home
directory on my laptop and my desktop system. It's great because I can
have access to my complete environment even when disconnected from the
network, and any file changes I make are reflected everywhere the next
time I connect to the network.
