Tool to move files between dates

[Guest Cyborg]

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.

So I can move anything modified between certain dates! I see there is a gui

version too.

 

Thanks

I'm not familiar with the GUI version but you can certainly

define dates in the command line version.

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

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.

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?

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.

> 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.
