Hi,

I currently use a program called copywhiz on windows that backs up any files or directories created after a certain date to a usb hard drive and runs once a day.

I want to transition fully to Linux. Is there any easy to use software that works on Linux that can do this?

P.S. I have tried creating a bash script to do this but for some reason it has trouble with the date part. So a software solution would be prefered.

    It’s built on top of rsync, you can easily configure it to make a backup of any arbitrary set of files

        That’s true, sure. I still find it a convenient tool, so I thought OP might find it convenient for this use-case even if that’s not the primary purpose

      It wasn’t designed for that. Use backintime instead, or any number of other backup tools.
