3.3 Keeping a Mirror Up to Date
Initially, your local mirror is empty and the remote archive is not. Compare the outputs of:
% tla abrowse lord@emf.net--2005 % tla abrowse lord@emf.net--2005-SOURCE [...]
Your mirror is "out of date". Fix it this way:
% tla archive-mirror lord@emf.net--2005
and see the results:
% tla abrowse lord@emf.net--2005 [...]
If tomorrow, you re-run the same archive-mirror
command,
just the newly modified parts of the archive will be copied
to your mirror. In other words, archive-mirror
does
a kind of "incremental update".
Commands Discussed
% tla abrowse -H % tla archive-mirror -H
