copy files nightly from one drive to another

[mapache]

Have used Amahi for a few years, but recently installed Amahi 8 on Fedora 21 distribution. Installed Amahi 8 onto a 160GB drive and added two 4TB drives. One called daily drive (/sdb) and the other backup drive (/sdc). Am in the process of moving the landing zone for the shares from the 160GB drive over to the 4TB drive "daily drive". would like to ensure that the 'daily drive' content is copied over to the backup drive each night. or at least the new content copied over.

Not sure how to do this. Would this be a greyhole feature? Looks to me like greyhole is for building a group of drives to function as one, similar to a RAID setup. If so, that might not be what I need.

are there any apps that can copy the files nightly?

What are the other options and recommendations?

Thank you!

I use an application on my client machine (Windows) called Free File Sync. Works really well for me.

There are many options that you can explore. Check out the wiki page on Backups.

Would prefer to have the had do the backup or file copying directly from the one drive to the other. Tried using FWbackup, but it came back with errors indicating my directory permission errors. Is there some r sync code that could be used in terminal to make the files copy daily at midnight the first time and then only the new changes after that each night?

Check out the second link in my previous post. It talks about rsync I believe.

There is a lot of guidance in the wiki. Recommend you look there for potential solutions that will meet your requirements.

If you don't find anything, then might need to search the internet for rsync examples.
