Hello,

 

I am looking for some softwares can do the following:

 

1. limit the folder size.

i.e. I like to limit each user has 500MB space only.

 

2. move old data to another folder.

i.e. I like to move the files which date is before 12-31-2006 from one

folder and subfolder to another folder and subfolder.

There are standard tools for this:

> 1. limit the folder size.

> i.e. I like to limit each user has 500MB space only.

=> Use user quotas.

> 2. move old data to another folder.

> i.e. I like to move the files which date is before 12-31-2006 from one

=> Use robocopy.exe

Hello Newbie,

 

Limit disk space with Quotas, volume based with all versions, if you need

folder based settings, use server 2003 R2 FSRM or 3rd party tools.

 

You can use robocopy from ressource kit tools or xxcopy (freeware) to copy

data.

 

Best regards

You can use PowerShell for this task.

 

$sourceFolder = "c:\folder\subfolder"

$destFolder = "d:\newfolder"

dir $sourceFolder -recurse | where-object { $_.LastWriteTime -lt "12-31-2006" }`

| move-item -destination $destFolder

 

The above command would work as well with UNC paths.
