Just a thought,
Maybe a local rsync (what i use daily and weekly) with a exclude list (created
by find)?
Maybe tweak tar a little, it has great amounts of use?
Pax is another interesting tool I've used for this kinda thing too.
What is the value of the ls if you can auto (cron) create a exclude list, find
certain characters/file attributes that are unwanted by the copy function?
maybe a find function, then a cp? or rsync? tar -czp... for space?
All the above copy methods have really cool options, much better than cp, cp
has a hard time with certain things, links and such.
Why use ls for this, I think I'm missing something here ;)
