rsync -options `find source -type f -name 'pattern' -newer markerfile
-print;touch markerfile` destination
Or perhaps, since new files might appear during the process:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
tosend=`find source -type f -name 'pattern' -newer markerfile -print`
rm markerfile
ln `ls -tr $tosend |tail -1` markerfile
rsync -options $tosend destination
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That way, you retain your newest file sent as the cutoff. I think there's
a touch command to copy timestamps, but it's not handy in my head at the
moment, and as you are obviously retaining the old logs anyway, there's no
harm in adding a link reference... it doesn't eat much.

rsync - copy only new files ( since the last run )
Hello everyone,
Here is what I am trying to accomplish.
Summary:
Using rsync to push journal transaction files from one server to the hot
backup server. Rsync script runs every 10 minutes and pushes the files .
On the hot backup server these files are applied by a shell script. A
purge job deletes files that have been applied from the hot backup server.
Unfortunately rsync pushes missing files back from primary to the hot
backup.
Question:
Is there a way to make rsync pickup where it left of instead of pushing
all missing files. I understand that the inteded function of rsync is to
sync up the dirs. May be there is a timestamp, flag .. that I can pass.
There are times when it is necessary to sync up but that occurs once in a
great while.
Thanks
Roman
