What is the best way to "back-up" files in Puppy.

#1 Post by jared »

Hi,

How do you handle back-ups in puppy?

I would like to have a program I can schedule to start at night, which searchs my hard drive for any file that has changed that day and then copys it to another hard drive.

Can anyone suggest a program that does this? I have searched for but have not found one that I could get to work in Puppy.

Thanks in advance.

To schedule backup crond is a great command.

A simple solution to mirror 2 directories is command line program mirdir or a puppy gui:

Thanks for the tips guys. I am still trying to get a grip on what you have suggested. :-) I'll check back when I have played with it for a while.
