Help comparing 2 directories recursively
by Nick-us from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4TFMT)
I will try to explain what I need to do.
I have 2 folders that are backups from different months of the same Linux:
LinuxA
LinuxB
I want to know what was modified in LinuxB compared to LinuxA
I read on the Internet that people indicate the diff command, But reading the diff manual doesn't seem right
"GNU diff - compare files line by line"
The Comparison I believe I need is to compare the files by date modified and if different, that file has certainly changed. Of course Check files that exist in one folder and do not exist in the other.
Does anyone have any idea how I can do this?
