For a long time I've had a script, bound to a key combo, to copy

I've written from one (Appletalk) networked drive to another location

I would use rsync<1> to do this and put it in a crontab so that it
happened automatically.
Given a path of
/Volumes/Mount/stories/
/Volumes/Mount/daily/
rsync -az /Volumes/Mount/daily/ /Volumes/Mount/stories/
Then, if I wanted to label, I would attach a folder script to the
stories folder.
The advantage to rsync is that not only does it only copy changed
files, it only copies the CHANGES. So, if I am working on a very large
photoshop file, for example, and 100K of info changes in the 50MB file,
only the 100K of changes are synched.
I know it's not AppleScript, but SOMETIMES AppleScript is not the best
solution. (I know, hard to believe!)
Definitely one to watch out for if you're using that sort of script and
crossing from 10.3.2 to 10.3.3.
Good to know
<1> I did install a rsync that understands rsrc files
