[nflug] Sort Of a Backup Question

[Roelant Ossewaarde]

You could either use find (man find) to search for files that have  
been modified after a certain date, or, if you want to merge your  
external HD with the files you have on your machine, use tar (man  
tar) to create a tape archive: create an archive from the older disk  
and then update it with the new disk.
