Hello,
I need AppleScript code I can run in Automator that will:
1) Duplicate all files on one external HD to another, including all subfolders and files (except where noted in point 3);
2) For each file, check if the file being copied exists on the backup drive, and then check if the version being copied is newer, and only copy it across if it is; (for speed)
3) Ignore any directories of a certain name.
Ideally, the script will read the exclusion directory names from a text file that I can edit at any time; even more ideally, it will read the source and destination volumes from another text file. I'm happy to discuss alternative methods if you have them.
