How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you

(Do not run that without-n!)-qris that I want to know 1) which files are in my local machine and missing in my remote backup, and 2) which files that have been changed/updated in my local machine with respect to the ones in the backup remote. Sorry for the lack of clarity. The-Rin the ls is probably wrong (it was just me experimenting on how to achieve the above conditions)Documentstree to your entireMy_remote_Documentstree (recursively), then thels -Ris appropriate. (But see point 2.) (4) It can be useful to respond to comments with more comments. But don’t clarify your question in comments; edit it to make it clearer and more complete. (5) At the risk of repeating point 1, try your command without the-qr. … (Cont’d)
