I am trying to set up an automatic incremental backup, of say the last 48 hours. I have the commands to find the files that have been changed in the last 48 hours and written the output to a text file list. I have found some script that then use tar compression and that list file as input as to what to backup, but i dont want to compress anything. Is there a way i can use a copy command with a text file full of file names to copy the files without compressing them to my backup drive?
Thanks
