Linux bash-- primitive Incremental backup script

Following is a little script that can take incremental backups in a way.. It might come handy.

 find SOURCE_DIR -type f -mtime -2 -exec cp -rfp --parents {} TARGET_DIR\;

What this script does is;

it finds the files modified at least 2 days ago, and copies this files to the backup location with the same directory structure..

An example:

[root@ermanhost/]# tree /test2
/test2   --> Backup location.

0 directories, 0 files --> empty.

[root@ermanhost /]# tree /test
/test --> Our Source directory ,which has sub directories and files in it.
`-- dir1
    |-- dir2
    |   |-- dir3
    |   |   `-- testfile1
    |   `-- testfile2
    `-- testfile3

3 directories, 3 files
[root@ermanhost /]# find /test -type f -mtime -2 -exec cp -rfp --parents {} /test2/ \;
[root@tegvoracle /]# tree /test2
/test2  --> That's it. Our Backup is taken with the same directory structure as you see below
`-- test
    `-- dir1
        |-- dir2
        |   |-- dir3
        |   |   `-- testfile1
        |   `-- testfile2
        `-- testfile3

4 directories, 3 files

To test further, I can add a new file and run the script again..

[root@ermanhost /]# touch /test/dir1/testfile4
[root@ermanhost /]# find /test -type f -mtime -2 -exec cp -rfp --parents {} /test2/ \;
[root@ermanhost /]# tree /test2
/test2
`-- test
    `-- dir1
        |-- dir2
        |   |-- dir3
        |   |   `-- testfile1
        |   `-- testfile2
        |-- testfile3
        `-- testfile4  -->Here, the new file is copied with the same directory structure as it source..
