Short: Create/maintain exact copy of dir (V1.6) Author: jhschulz@gmx.de (Jan Hendrik Schulz) Uploader: jhschulz gmx de (Jan Hendrik Schulz) Type: util/cli Version: 1.6 Architecture: m68k-amigaos MirrorCopy is a shell filecopy command, which is able to create and update an exact copy (mirror) of all the files and subdirectories (including there contents) located in a source directory. I use it to maintain a mirror copy of my system partition on a bootable ZIP disk. That way I not only have a backup of my system partition, I can even boot directly off this backup (if I need to) and have all the tools etc available I'm used to. The main features of MirrorCopy are: - The destination directory will contain exactly the same files and subdirectories as the source directory - and nothing more! - The attributes (date, comment and protection flags) of the files and subdirectories in the destination directory are set exactly to the same values as in the source directory. - MirrorCopy takes care of what the destination directory allready contains: - only those files are copied, that need to be copied. - only those subdirectories are created, that need to be created - only those files and subdirectories are removed from the destination directory, that need to be removed. This is very usefull if you don't want to create a mirror copy, but if you want to update an allready existing mirror copy. - MirrorCopy can keep deleted or overwritten files in special 'deleted-/old-files' directories. - The contents of the source directory is not changed in any way! Not even the protection flags (like the archive flag) are changed. New in version 1.6: ------------------- - Bugfix: If a file in the destination directory had to be replaced with a newer version, but the file was delete-protected ('D' flag not set) MirrorCopy didn't replace the file but instead stoped with an errormessage.
