Solve : cp command and file changed?

Answer»

hi, I'd WANT to archive the whole directory. I'm thinking of usging cp -a, and not SURE what it does if while in the PROCESS of copying, some FILES got changed or deleted. Will it
case 1: stop?
case 2:
a: if file changed: ignore the changed and COPY the old file and keep copying the rest?
b: if file deleted: skip the file and keep copying the rest?
or esle?
