Hi,
I currently use a program called copywhiz on windows that backs up any files or directories created after a certain date to a usb hard drive and runs once a day.
I want to transition fully to Linux. Is there any easy to use software that works on Linux that can do this?
P.S. I have tried creating a bash script to do this but for some reason it has trouble with the date part. So a software solution would be prefered.
It’s built on top of rsync, you can easily configure it to make a backup of any arbitrary set of files
You can use it like that, but it’s not a primary focus I think.
That’s true, sure. I still find it a convenient tool, so I thought OP might find it convenient for this use-case even if that’s not the primary purpose
It wasn’t designed for that. Use backintime instead, or any number of other backup tools.
