I am writing an applescript to synchronise two folders, one local and one on a network. Each folder should have the same data, one is local (on a MacBook Pro) and the other on a windows network.

I have this script which works, but does not identify the most recent file:

property local_foldername : "~home/Documents"

property destination_foldername : "smb://some/ networked/location"

property eject_when_done : true

property confirm_backup : true

on clicked theObject

tell application "Finder"

if not (exists folder "Backups" of home) then

make new folder at home with properties {name:"Backups"}

end if

set source_folder to folder local_foldername of home

set the alias_list to every alias file of the source_folder

if (count alias_list) > 0 then

try

duplicate every file of local_foldername to destination_foldername with replacing

duplicate every file of destination_foldername to local_foldername with replacing

end try

end if

end tell

end clicked

If I run this only from the mac, any work done on a PC desktop which writes to the destination_foldername will be overwritten by files from the local_foldername. Unlike my backup scripts which only have changes to the original file, these files will be changed in both locations. I need to identify and replace only files that are older than the source files. Is this possible?
