Rsync is probably the best thing you will find for this.  As long as 
whatever you are doing can tolerate the possible differences between 
rsync runs it should be fine. Rysnc normally creates a new file under a 
tmp name, renaming only when the transfer is complete so programs 
accessing the data will only see one version or the other, not an 
inconsistent copy as the transfer progresses.
