RCP command usage

[Henry Chua]

Hi Guys,

Can command rcp command be used for incremental back up process?

So, you are looking for an option that causes only files to be copied which have been accessed within the last 24 hours or so.

No, I don't think that is available out of the box. But you can always wrap a script around it.

rsync will copy changes to files, to copy incremental changes over a network. You can get it from: -

If I understand correctly what you want to do, something like this might be what you're after:

find / -mtime -1 -type f -exec rcp {} <> \;

Put that line in a script and run it once a day from cron.
