- Backup [option...] -from directory -to directory >commands >&progress
-
- Files in a source (from) directory are copied to a destination (to) directory
- based on the modification dates. By default, only files that already exist in
- both directories are candidates for copying. Normally, Backup produces a
- series of shell Copy commands which can be redirected into a script file
- for later execution. This can be overridden by using the -doit option.
-
- Note: At least -from or -to must be specified
-
- -a # copy all files from source to destination
- -c # create "to" directories if they do not exist
- -do [only,]'command' # write the command string specified by command…
- -doit # actually perform the Copy commands instead of writing
- # them to standard output
- -e # eject disk when done
- -from name # specify source directory. If omitted, the current
- # directory is assumed
- -lastcmd cmd # write the command string as the last command
- -p # display copyright and progress information
- -r # recursively process subdirectories
- -t # process only files of specified type
- -to name # specify destination directory. If omitted, the current
- # directory is assumed
- -y # suppress copy '-c' option
