Bulk file move

I would like to move all data older than a specific date (in effect archiving off data)

I thought it might be possible to do it in xcopy, but i am not sure of the switches i would need to use, can anyone give me a clue on how to do this or what alternative I could use to move the files.

The files are all held on shared folders and the plan is to move these just once, as they were files transfered from a migration.

looking at the XCopy the only option ( /D:m-d-y) to copy by date does it for dates on of after m-d-y ... I do not believe it can be used to copy before a date). I have attached the Xcopy Switch decription for you in the attached file.
