Hi,

This may be useful for linux an mac users...

A quick way to copy files from one place to
another is to use rsync. The first time
it is used it will copy all of the files, subsequent
copies will only copy the things that are newer.

My cf card on the mac is known as /Volumes/CFILIAD
On my desktop I have a folder named CardBackup

The command I used was:

Code:
 rsync -av /Volumes/CFILIAD/ /Users/jerry/Desktop/CardBackup
This cloned the CF card to the CardBackup Folder.
Note the slash after CFILIAD and no slash after the
CardBackup.

You can also direct rsync to delete files on the target that are
no longer in the source.

It is worth reading the man page for rsync before using the command.
