To me it is a matter of security, hopefully it is not too off-topic:
I have a suse9.0-box1 which has all my images (photo's i am a photographer) stored now I want to sync them with a box2, I am working on (a suse9.0-box2) but I did some adjustments to most of the images so I don't want images of box2 overwritten by the ones of box1, only add the images that are allready on box1 but not yet on box2.
My handbook suggests unison, but I can't figure out howto: update box2, with leaving altered files untouched, and leave all the files of box1 untouched
Check out "rsync". You'll probably want the "--ignore-existing" option as well as the "-e ssh" option. The man page has many examples. Use "-n" to test it until you're happy. You might even make a copy of the dir on the target machine and try it on that the first time if you're really paranoid. (I am with some data. :-) HTH, Kevin
