- I am setting some routines for backup purposes. Well, I am having
- troubles understanding difference between output of find -ctime
- and find -mtime. Maybe it is my language, but TFM page does say
- only that one is modification time and the other time when file
- was modified.
-
- Can someone be so kind and send me 2-3 sentences of explanation?
- I want to use it to find files changed during last 24 hours, to
- backup them....

- Replies ( pointers to manual pages ) welcome, please use e-mail.
