Hi,
I am doing backups with tar on XP. I thought that I could touch a file
when I did a full backup and then use find with newer to only back up
files that are newer than the touched file:
~ touch /cygdrive/i/backups/full_backup
~ find /cygdrive/d/sandbox -newer /cygdrive/i/backups/full_backup !
~ -type d -print | sed -e "s/\ /\\\\ /g"`
this command produces the following list of files:
~ /cygdrive/d/sandbox/another\ test.txt
~ /cygdrive/d/sandbox/test.txt
'another test.txt' is a file with an embedded space (I figured I
needed to escape the space, hence the sed)
The problem is this, when I use the output of this command as the
input of another it complains. ie.
~ $ ls -l `find /cygdrive/d/sandbox -newer
~ /cygdrive/i/backups/_sandbox.full ! -type d -print | sed -e "s/\
~ /\\\\ /g"`
~ ls: /cygdrive/d/sandbox/another: No such file or directory
~ -rwx------+ 1 wsenn None 0 Jun 3 14:45
~ /cygdrive/d/sandbox/test.txt
~ -rw-r--r-- 1 wsenn None 69 Jun 3 15:26 test.txt
Any help would be appreciated. Here's the tar command I planned on using:
~ tar czf /cygdrive/i/${TODAY}_I_sandbox.tgz `find
~ /cygdrive/d/sandbox -newer /cygdrive/i/backups/full_backup ! -type
~ d -print | sed -e s/\ /\\\\\ /g`
Later,
Will
