Guest cbass Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 I would like to find out what user folders/files have not been modified in the past year or so to do some clean up on my servers. How can I go about doing this? Is the best way to do a windows search based on accessed date and do a date range?

Guest cbass Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Re: Archiving old files I don't want to delete the files, just find out what files/folders have not been accessed before a certain date.
