I use rsync for this and would suggest you look into it. You can tell |
| 11 |
it to compare files based on checksum (which is slower) and the real |
| 12 |
beauty is that if there is a file that is corrupt or otherwise not the |
| 13 |
same as the source it will copy just that single file to your backup |
| 14 |
disk. Test it by deleting a random file somewhere in the backup tree.. |
| 15 |
rerun your rsync command and the file is copied back. |
