rsync files newer than 1 week
This should get you underway in a solid way
rsync -RDa0P \
--files-from=<(find sourcedir/./ -mtime -7 -print0) \
. user@B:targetdir/
This copies device nodes, permissions, timestamps. I'm pretty sure the -H option won't be accurate with --files-from
I wrote this script based on cybertoast's comment to sync from a remote server to local.
You can call the script with ./script.sh 3
or ./script.sh 3 dry
for a dry run.
#!/bin/bash
TIME=$1
DRYRUN=$2
if [[ -z $TIME ]]; then
echo "Error: no time argument."
echo "Please enter the number of days to sync."
exit 1
fi
if [[ $DRYRUN = "dry" ]]; then
DRYRUNCMD="--dry-run"
echo "Dry run initiated..."
fi
rsync -avz $DRYRUNCMD --files-from=<(ssh \
user@remote "find path/to/data/ \
-mtime -$TIME ! -name *.mkv -type f \
-exec ls $(basename {}) \;") \
user@remote:. .
