how to select really old files for backup

[Guest Al]

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?

Use robocopy.exe or xxcopy.exe to copy the very old files

to a holding folder, then back them up. Robocopy comes

with the Windows Resource Kit and xxcopy can be

downloaded from a number of sites.

I use Copyrite XP

http://copyrite.dyndns.biz.

It is a GUI for Microsoft Robocopy.
