       I want to backup some very full directories onto a USB stick, but I just want to copy over the new files. Is there a program that can do that? Analyze the directory, compare, then copy over only what's new?

       @Ricardus I'd reach for rsync on *nix, not sure for windows honestly

       @djsundog That might work.

       @djsundog @Ricardus On windows take a look at robocopy, it's not quite rsync but it might do what you need.I first looked into it for a backup script for my work machine.

       @ToroidalCore @djsundog I'm on linux, and figured there was a graphical shell, and I found grsync, and just finished my backups.

       @djsundog @ToroidalCore This specific backup was every piece of data accumulated for every one of my builds. Both things that I've built, and research for things I am going to build.
