Description: Simple script I used to back up my Laptop before lease exchange. Was not looking to reinvent the wheel, saw rcopy after I wrote this and rcopy requires rsync. I was running XP with activestate perl, so seemed just as easy to write something quick that would do the job. update: Thanks graff for pointing out the error I had with mkpath
eval { mkpath (["$copy_to/$dir"]); }; die "Could not create Path $copy_to $dir $@" if($@);
