create Linux Bash Script to copy files and create directory

Question

I need to create a script that ..

copy original documents from any portable hard drive or memory stick to an archive without creating unnecessary duplicates.

copy .doc files and .pdf but no duplicates if the files are the same.

The script must make a directory if one doesn't already exist

and if one doesn't exist it must report an error.

Can anyone help?

And what you've tried so far ? any attempt to achieve this ? — Juned, Oct 27 '15 at 08:51

Synchronize directory 1 to directory 2 and prevents group, owner time ...
