Reply With QuoteIf you're using the tar command to create your backups, add the -u switch. That will only add files that are newer than the ones in the archive.

Is there such thing in Linux as the archive bit in DOS? Basically I would like to back up only the files that were changed since the last backup. Is there a way of doing that?

Doesnt something like mondo allow for that (via the tar command I asume)? Its been a while since it was practical for me to use mondo, so I could be wrong.
Duh!
Amazing what the man command can do for you! ;DCode:cp -Ru sourcedir destination
