Guest hslbz@hotmail.com Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Hi all, We are thinking about archiving old files from our fileserves to cheaper storage. To check whether this is usefull I would like to see how many files (for instance older then 1 year) we have on our fileserver. So I just need a very simple tool (or something) which scans a partition I choose with the settings I set and then tells me how much GB is not modified in (for instance) 1 year. does anybody know such a tool? (extensive search didn't give me a result:( Regards, Mike van Gestel

Guest Leythos Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Re: Tool to scan files on fileserver?? You could also do this: dir /s /t:w /o:d > c:\test.txt where you start in the directory you want to scroll through, the test.txt file will contain the results sorted from oldest to newest. -- Leythos - Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. - Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist" spam999free@rrohio.com (remove 999 for proper email address)
