Assuming that databases are backed up daily to a folder on the remote filesystem, and a mirror of the remote filesystem was made using the -mirror switch for wget, what would a CRON job look like to have that FTP mirror updated daily via wget without downloading files that have not changed ?

Apparently it's as simple as using the --mirror flag just like the first fetching.

Code: [ Select ]
wget --mirror --ftp-user=user --ftp-password=pass -o /log.txt ftp://ftp.domain.com
Strong with this one, the sudo is.
