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.

    You said you run it daily in the post, but now it’s every 6 months. You really should be more specific. I for one don’t understand why you can’t just do rsync -au /source /target

      i run this backup daily because the from date for it is based on the date of the last 6 monthly backup to tape
