The equiv of an archive bit using cpio

[mike neuliep]

I wrote the following script to back up modified files to copy them from
one harddrive to a back up harddrive

#!/bin/sh

# This scripts copies from from / to /mnt/hdc2.  Only files with newer than
# target date are copied.  The resulting /mnt/hdc2 should be a mirror of the
# original drive

/usr/bin/find /sbin /root /opt /etc /bin /usr /home /var /lib /boot | /bin/cpio -p 
--make-directories --preserve-modification-time --verbose /mnt/hdc2

Also if you read the tar "info" pages, there are script examples of how to
use tar and back up to a tape devies only modified files.  If anyone wants
me to post those examples, let me know.
