Re: Backing up only new files

Le 27 avr. 04, ` 07:00, email@hidden a icrit :

set up the recursion depending on the structure of your file system.
Primarily, decide how many folders deep do you want to check for
modified files before you simply copy the whole folder. It will be a
big time saver. Once you have the recursion set up in a repeat loop,
here's the Finder terminology, assuming originalItem and backupItem are
references to the corresponding files.

tell application "Finder"
if ((modification date of item backupItem) < (modification date of
item originalItem)) then
-- originalItem is newer
else
--backupItem presumably has same modification date (or is newer, which
would be wierd)
end if
end tell

Cheers,
Joe


Thank you very much, Joe.

I see what you mean, but...could you give me a simple example of how to set up the recurssion in a repeat loop.

Evil is in details.

Yours
Bernard
