That's plain bad system analysis. Read the start date, record the current date and THEN start processing. You will get the odd extra file but will not loose any.
That's my point. "find" doesn't do that and naïve implementations of the original suggestion are likely to do work poorly.

A good systems analysis is a must in whatever one does. Be it system admin, software developer, accountant, lawyer etc.
My suggestion about using "find" was in response to OP's question/clarification on incremental/differential backup and I assumed due diligence with respective to designing the script.
<quote> how to perform a differential backup using rsync?
On web there is a great confusion about diff backup concept when searched with rsync. </quote>
rsync will do incremental backup as already discussed earlier in this thread.
Please suggest how to achieve a differential backup with rsync (the original query).
