Not only that, I don't think there's a pretty or straight-forward way of copying all files newer than a specific date.

Windows Explorer did the merging thing naturally, and xcopy copied files newer than a specific time. And I think the issue is that Unix commands don't operate like that.

Well, thanks to my own ingenuity, I've created a PHP script that does both those things. And with a little more work, it could do a lot more that I've been hoping for in the past.

So exciting. !
