A programmer wanted to refresh his backup files
of a work in progress to a server. Since some of
the files were quite large she only wanted to
copy files that had changed. And she didn't want
to copy any of the hundreds of temporary files
her compiler created.
She used FileBoss' File Sets to mark all the
files (automatically) and then set up a copy
routine to only copy files that already existed
on the server and that were newer than those
files.

operation another time.
