I have a portable hard-drive which has a data tree on it, and an internal hard-drive with (theoretically) the same tree. They _were_ identical at some point in the past. I've lost track of what changes I've made on which. So, I'm thinking of running this pair of rsync's: rsync -tru e:\data_tree d:\data_tree rsync -tru d:\data_tree e:\data_tree The theory being that if the internal drive has a more recent date-stamp for a file, I don't want the external data over-writing it. And then the second copies that more recent data back out to the external drive. Am I missing anything here? -- Scott Raun sraun at fireopal.org
