It's not working for me
For this command:
cp -r `ls /original/path/full/of/folders/` new/folder/for/backup/
I get this:
cp: cannot stat `<files2copy>': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `<files2copy>': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `<files2copy>': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `<files2copy>': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `<files2copy>': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `<files2copy>': No such file or directory
But all this files are present in the system, it's like cp couldn't handle ls output... I don't get it...
