Subj : Can I mirror a directory on the same computer ?

I want to create a script, which will run from a cron job to mirror the 
contents of one directory to another.

Both directories are on the same computer, so I don't want to use rsync, or 
fmirror.

I know that I can use cp -r.

I would like to copy only files that differ from those in the destination 
directory, and I would like files that have been removed from the source 
directory to be removed from the destination directory.

Is there a simple way of mirroring directories in this manner ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Mark.
