How can i copy home folders to another server based on size using a script?
Hi,
I need a way (whether through scripts or whatever) to copy home folders that are less than 500 MB. For example, when i double click on a script, it contacts the server where home folders reside and copy only folders that are less than 500MB to another server.
I beleive that such script exist in this world but i couldn't find it in google, yahoo ..etc.
Of course, robocopy.exe will not do anything like this. It only copies folders from location to another location using basic switches and it lacks these detailed calculations.
Kindly advise.

Get another look at RoboCopy - specifically the /min and /max command line options. These command line options will allow you to exclude copying files that are larger than or smaller than specified values. In your case, you'd use the /max:5000000000 option.

Hi Paka,
Thanks for the quick response. However, these options applies on files only. What about folders?
