- ==========
-
- This program will backup a directory into another directory, usually
- onto an OD or SCSI hard drive. You have the choice of exactly
- duplicating the directory being backed up, or updating the backup with
- changes and new files. Exactly duplicating the file system means
- that any files in the destination, that are not in the source
- directory, will be removed. Updating means the files will be left.
- Either way, any files that are newer on the source, that destination,
- will be updated.
-
- With this in mind, users that have want to keep files in a backup that
- have been deleted from their hard drive, may want to start new backup
- archives. That way files deleted will stay in the old archive and the
- new archive will be an image of the current file system.
-
- One of the nice things about the UN*X utility rdist is that it only
- updates files that have changed since the last copy was done. And,
- since this app is based on rdist it does the same thing.

- Jiffy Usage
-
