Guest Cyborg Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Hi, I need to archive files from one server to another that are between certain dates and if possible keep permissions, is there such a tool?

Yes, robocopy.exe.
Guest Cyborg Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Re: Tool to move files between dates So I can move anything modified between certain dates! I see there is a gui version too.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Re: Tool to move files between dates I'm not familiar with the GUI version but you can certainly define dates in the command line version.

Guest Cyborg Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Re: Tool to move files between dates THe command line is better, I can't see a switch to move only modified dates say 1999 to 2005, don't suppose you have an example? robocopy.exe F:\Archive\ "R:\Users" /E /COPYALL /MOVE "Pegasus (MVP)" <I.can@fly.com.oz> wrote in message news:u%23tJJUXxIHA.5472@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > I'm not familiar with the GUI version but you can certainly > define dates in the command line version. > > > "Cyborg" <apollo13@btinternet.com> wrote in message > news:FE9BD1B8-1047-47D7-B791-A82143F5F833@microsoft.com... >> So I can move anything modified between certain dates!

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Re: Tool to move files between dates You need to wade through the detailed help file - the "maxage" and "minage" would be prime candidates! robocopy d:\temp d:\Tue *.txt /maxage:180 /minage:60 There is a "move" switch too.

Guest Cyborg Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Re: Tool to move files between dates Couple of questions what does the *.txt do you added? /maxage:180 /minage:60= does this mean you will move files that have not been modified and are between 6 months and 2 months old?

Guest Cyborg Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Re: Tool to move files between dates Seems /minage: is the one I need but i can't use more the 1900 days is this normal?

I quote from the helpfile: /MINLAD:n :: MINimum Last Access Date - exclude files used since n. (If n < 1900 then n = n days, else n = YYYYMMDD date). If this is insufficient then you need to translate "n days" into an actual date of the form YYYYMMDD. About your other questions: > What does the *.txt do you added? It means what it says: It copies .txt files only. > /maxage:180 /minage:60= does this mean you will move files that have not > been modified and are between 6 months and 2 months old? I actually ran a test to confirm this behaviour before replying to your post. I urge you to do the same - it will increase your confidence level that the command really works.
