Following is a little script that can take incremental backups in a way.. It might come handy.
find SOURCE_DIR -type f -mtime -2 -exec cp -rfp --parents {} TARGET_DIR\;
What this script does is;
it finds the files modified at least 2 days ago, and copies this files to the backup location with the same directory structure..
An example:
[root@ermanhost/]# tree /test2
/test2 --> Backup location.
0 directories, 0 files --> empty.
[root@ermanhost /]# tree /test
/test --> Our Source directory ,which has sub directories and files in it.
`-- dir1
|-- dir2
| |-- dir3
| | `-- testfile1
| `-- testfile2
`-- testfile3
3 directories, 3 files
[root@ermanhost /]# find /test -type f -mtime -2 -exec cp -rfp --parents {} /test2/ \;
[root@tegvoracle /]# tree /test2
/test2 --> That's it. Our Backup is taken with the same directory structure as you see below
`-- test
`-- dir1
|-- dir2
| |-- dir3
| | `-- testfile1
| `-- testfile2
`-- testfile3
4 directories, 3 files
To test further, I can add a new file and run the script again..
[root@ermanhost /]# touch /test/dir1/testfile4
[root@ermanhost /]# find /test -type f -mtime -2 -exec cp -rfp --parents {} /test2/ \;
[root@ermanhost /]# tree /test2
/test2
`-- test
`-- dir1
|-- dir2
| |-- dir3
| | `-- testfile1
| `-- testfile2
|-- testfile3
`-- testfile4 -->Here, the new file is copied with the same directory structure as it source..
