Tips & Tricks:

Using ‘cp’ to copy files in Linux is a very convenient tool. However, knowing these switches can save you from making mistakes:

-i : Confirm before overwriting

-n : No overwriting

-b : Overwriting with backup

-r : Recursive copying

-u : Overwrite if the target file is old or doesn’t exist

Ex: $ cp -b sourcedirectory targetdirectory will overwrite the file if it exists but creates a backup file first.
