Tool to scan files on fileserver??

[Guest hslbz@hotmail.com]

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

You do know that some files, critical ones, may never be modified after

the OS is installed - right?

Also permissions may affect doing something like this.

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.

You could use this command:

xxcopy /db#365 /s /L "D:\User Files\*.*" d:\Temp\ | find /i "total

data"

 

You can download xxcopy.exe from a number of sites.

RoboCopy would work also

try ROBOCOPY /? for arguments

 

look at the /MAXLAD:n and the /MINAGE:x settings in conjunction with

other arguments - and the /MOV or /MOVE to delete the files once moved.

Yes, I'm quite aware of this but I thought the OP might not.

This is why I gave him a full command line for xxcopy.exe.

Sorry, I like ROBOCOPY because of how light it is on resources and that

it's free from MS.
