Thank you very much.
I have a follow on question: I'm in /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache and I want to back up my work. I don't want to back up the bin
directory, or the error directory or the logs directory...
How do I exclude these directories? The following does not work:
/usr/bin/find . -type f ! -path \^\.\/bin | less
Thanks,
Siegfried
