I have a large number of files (specifically, my music collection) that I plan to rename (using Ex Falso).
I have the files backed up, so in principle I can restore if necessary, but that would be time consuming.
It seems to me that using hard linking, I should be able to make a backup copy that I could restore very easily, should I make a mistake in my renaming attempt.
Can anyone suggest how this might be done most easily?
cp -rl. POSIXly, there'spax.cpiocan also do. – Stéphane Chazelas Jul 09 '23 at 15:07
