Dear all,
Apologies if this is a silly question, but it's important enough for me
to ask as a double-check:
I want to do a once-off "incremental backup" of a server, in such a way
that I create a tar archive of only data files that have been created or
have been modified since a defined date.
Will this do the trick, for example?
tar -cvf incremental.tar --newer-mtime "24 Now 2007" *
I.e. only tar up files that have been CREATED or MODIFIED since
24.11.2007...
Thanks.
