- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .PP
- fIBackupfR (recursively) backs up the contents of a given directory and its
- subdirectories to another part of the file system.
- It has two typical uses.
- First, some portion of the file system can be backed up onto 1 or more
- diskettes.
- When a diskette fills up, the user is prompted for a new one.
- The backups are in the form of mountable file systems.
- Second, a directory on RAM disk can be backed up onto hard disk.
- If the target directory is empty, the entire source directory is copied
- there, optionally compressed to save space.
- If the target directory is an old backup, only those files in the target
- directory that are older than similar names in the source directory are
- replaced.
- fIBackupfR uses times for this purpose, like fImakefR.
- Calling fIBackupfR as fIRestorefR is equivalent to using the -r option;
- this replaces newer files in the target directory with older files from the
- source directory, uncompressing them if necessary. The target directory
- contents are thus returned to some previous state.
