First, let me say I am not an expert on this, but this should not be hard. There are many many options of rsync that you can use, depends on your need. man rsync is a great place to look (with examples), and you should read it. Here is an example that I use to keep sync of my samba mounted directory: rsync -rvu --ignore-existing /usr/local/hlds/cstrike /mnt/smb/cstrike Look at the man page for what the options means. From the top of my heard: -r recursive -v verbose -u if the receiving side has newer version, don't replace it --ignore-existing if the receiving side already has the file, ignore it Hope that helps.
