mkdir backupcache
cp -rp .cache backupcache # or cp -rp \.cache backupcache does not work
nothing gets copied and directory backupcache remains empty
Don't specify the files or Directory
Lets say you created the new folder (or are going to create one) and want to copy the files to it after the folder is created
mkdir /test/folder
cp -rp /path/to/copy/. /test/folder
This will copy all files/folder recursively from /path/from/copy in to the already existing folder created on the first line.
Another approach is tar. For example:
$cd foo
$tar cf - . | tar -C /path/to/bar -x
Using rsync :
rsync -av src dest
