Just keep in mind that a file, if open, may be in some state only a mother could love. You really have to be selective about saving open files, or eventually you will save a file which is not in a useful state. That said, you can find files modified since the last save and save them with whatever means you wish, such as rsync. This is an example, remember I just made it up: touch next-save find . -name *.txt -mnewer last-save -mmin +10 >save-list rsync -a --files-from=save-list DESTINATION && mv next-save last-save Save files modified since the previous save, but untouched for ten minutes, since that improves your chance that the file is in a useful state, retry until the backup succeeds. Run that as a script every hour or so. NOTE: this is one of dozens of solutions, unless the data in the files is vastly valuable I'd just back them all up once a day. That's me, the cost of backup should not be greater than the cost of recreation. -- Bill Davidsen <david...@tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
