    clear
    JAVA_HOME=/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/java/bin

    dy=`/usr/bin/date +%Y%m%d`
    #/blaze/cde/in/blazerma65/config/a
    jar -cvf /config/a/bkup/bk$dy.jar /config/IndiaRep /config/META-INF
    it is taking back up, but when I compare the backup folder with the original folder using diff command, several differences come out.
    Please guide me ASAP.

    Thanks All!

    I suggest you backup just two files with the commands cp or dd and stop mucking about with obviously inappropriate software.
    Either:
    • the Java program is rubbish
    • your file system filled up during the copy
    • the files copied are open and being updated while copied
    • the originals where modified after the copy

    You will have to make up your own mind.

    thanks Nigel
