unix copy
I have a HP-UX box and I copy each night to a mounted NFS share on a linux Ubuntu box. i currently use just a simple copy command
cp -r /source /destination
i would like to be a bit more fancy, and just copy files that changed during the week, and maybe the whole thing each weekend. is there a way to copy just the files that have changed since the last time i ran
cp -r /source /destination
?
cp -r /source /destination

does rsync work with HP-UX? or is it a linux thing?
I believe so but you will need to get the source and compile it using make I believe, have never used HP-UX

thank you, i think this will work. i'll just put rsync on my Ubuntu box. that will be much safer. then i could share the directories i need on the HP-UX box then use rsync to copy the file from HP to linux. If this doesn't work, i could try Martin J Parker's suggestion.
Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the help.
You must already have rsync by default in your ubuntu box.
