[SOLVED] Incremental Backup

me_spearhead · 01-09-2009, 05:51 AM

I am working on a shell script which generates an incremental backup for the previous. The backup should contain the exact directory structure of the source files and should overwrite only files that are modified.

I tried using various options in ls, find to get the physical path of each file but to no avail.
Even the options in find command did not give me the files modified on previous day.

Kindly help.

Look at using tar with the -g (--listed-incremental) option.
