Equivalence to cp -Ru

[Daniel Patón]

Dear list:

In Linux I used the following command in bash on an external USB disk:

cp -Ru * /media/BACKUP

Now in FreeBSD with csh the command cp is a little different. 
Is there any equivalence to cp -Ru that only copy the newest files of my laptop to external disk?

cp -a ?

Many thanks
