Made a bit off a muck up off things when i backed up parts of my /home/mark directory to /mnt/deer In /mnt/deer i know have hundreds of files and folders which i rsynced on 22/09/2011. I need a command line option to put them all In one shot in /mnt/deer/zebra.
(cd /mnt/deer;mkdir zebra;mv * .* zebra)And yes, sure it will complain about . and .. as well as zebra, but it'll work fine for all other files / directories / links.
