Find changed files.

[Sjaakbijzaak]

I'm looking for a way to find out what files are changed on a specific day.

I wanna know this to figureout a backup methode.

I looked with finder only that gives also folders and it looks like it skips files.

Thank you

You need to be more specific about what you want.

You can use a third-party backup program, like Retrospect, Chronosync, SuperDuper!, or any of the hundreds of available programs that can do incremental backups based upon file changes.

You can also write shell scripts to accomplish this as well.

This can also be done with AppleScript.

This can also be done with low-level programming languages, like C.

This can also be done with higher-level programming languages, like C++, Objective-C, Java, etc.

This can also be done with interpretive languages, like perl, ruby, php, python, etc.

You'll need to be quite a bit more specific about what, exactly, you're trying to accomplish, and what tools/programs/languages you would like to use to get the job done.

To copy CHANGED FILES only... simply use RSync

You can ready all about it for the mac... there is a nice app called RSyncX which will do you nicely.

Or.. make life easier with any of the other free backup tools! Or pay for SuperDuper which is the BEST.
