For me, it's best to use rsync, because rsync will not copy file if they |
| 12 |
are already existing, and are the same. It's quite usefull when using a |
| 13 |
copy over a network, or even locally when spurious error can occur and |
| 14 |
especially when the filesystem is live and file may be modified during |
| 15 |
the copy. |

To copy large file tree rsync is, for me, always the best choice, and |
| 18 |
I'm pretty sure that there are some cases that rsync will behave better |
| 19 |
than a simple recursive cp |
