I would like to perform a bi-directional syncing of the contents of my
USB key with a given directory (in which I could be giving the command
line command) with the aim of copying files between the key to the hard
disk only where NEWER versions of existing files are to be found.
Let me explain with an example:
Key HDD
A1 A2
B2 B1
C1 D1
In the above example A2 stands for a newer version of file A (A1 an older).
In this example I would like to have:
A2 copied onto A1
B2 copied onto B1
but NOT
C1 to HDD
and NOT
D1 to Key.
Any ideas on the simpler but dependable way of doing this ? An
interaction for confirmation would be useful especially if squelchable.
Thank you very much,
Bob
