Guest Al Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Here's an interesting problem... I want to backup all files that have not been accessed in 2 years or more, and then take the off the fileserver. When I right lcick a file, I can see the "Last Accessed" date, so I know this information is there... How do I search for all files on a drive that were last accessed before a certain date? Al
