Hello scripters !
I am very proud of my little simple backup script. ;-))
I use it everyday, at work without trouble, but... now , after months
of use, I would like to improve it.
Could it be possible to backup ONLY what has been modified or created,
not replacing the entire volume ?
How does AS compare files, and decide they are the same (not just the
same name) ?
I am wondering how I could do it.
I was thinking of comparing the 2 folders items lists.
It could go like this:
---
set Folder1Contents to list folder BUSource without invisibles
set Folder2Contents to list folder BUDestination without invisibles
repeat with x in Folder1Contents
---
Could it be the right way to seek ?
Thanks in advance or the advices.
Apologies for basic question and poor english.
Bernard
