Hello Experts,


Hello I am using Linux-centos was wondering How would I set up the cronjob using rsyncto do a incremental copy of a set of folders from one place to another. If files exist do nothing if it doesnt then copy new files.

example folders I want to do a incremental copy of.

/home/account1/public_html/images
/home/account1/public_html/thumbnails
/home/account1/public_html/otherimages


to

/home/account2/public_html/images
/home/account2/public_html/thumbnails
/home/account2/public_html/otherimages


I need the cronjobs to run everynight at 2am 3am and 4am to keep load on server low unless doing the incremental copy uses less cpu cause to does not copy all files again.
