How to scan for old files not modified for a specific period of time?
Hi,
my file server is storing tones of files (800GB) but which i guess most of them are not using it everyday. The daily backup is taking too long (i am not opting for incremental or differential backup) to finish.
If there any free ware which i can scan for files (and generate a report) that are not used for etc 1 year? so that i can transfer out permanently (manually or automatically) to free up the server space. Thank you
