   That's what I want, a complete undistinguishable copy. I know what   
   directory I worked on most of the time so I could just do it manually.   
   Sometimes it might be 2 or 3 directories. I could do all that on a   
   single compound line ending with a shutdown.   
      
   Since any directory worked on would have been worked on today, maybe I   
   could just list directories under /x that have been written to today?   
      
   I'm using ext4 BTW, exclusively, since reiserfs went unmaintained.
