Hello.
Suppose I have a large storage of files and a smaller disk (backup).
I need to copy as much as I can from source to target and I want the
most recent files.
Before I start scripting and reinvent the wheel, is there some tool already?
bye & Thanks

If you want to enforce particular sort order you will have to call
rsync from another tool. Probably ls / find, sort, then rsync, maybe a
dedicated Python script.
Sure, this was what I was thinking.
I just wanted to avoid doing this if it already existed.

Thanks, but this is not what I need.
I mean, unless I understood wrong, unison will intelligently copy
everything, as rsync does.
I only need a partial copy (up to a space full
With a source disk containing x-amount of space, and a backup disk containing
y-amount of space, where x > y, to back up files from x, newest first, until
disk y is full, it's as simple as a bash-loop where you specify date ranges on
each iteration:
for days in {1..30}; do
find source/ -type f -
I feel like `ls` or `find` and some creative sorting after the fact would
do it.
ls -laRrt sort of works, but it doesn't output subdirectory files in order.
find doesn't have any sorting.
You could use the `ls` flag `-D format`:
When printing in the long (-l) format, use format to form
