Archiving files older than a certain date.

[Guest Paul Sturge]

I am in the proccess of setting up a NAS on our network to use as a read only

archive of older project files. I was looking for the best way to acomplish

this. I have looked at robocopy and it seems like it may do the job. Does it

maintain the directory structure and can it delete the source files after a

successfuly copy? Are there any other products out there I could look into.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

The answer is "yes" to each question you asked about robocopy.exe.

Have a look at the help file to see what switches you need to use.
