We are after a means to identify files (documents) that have not been accessed/modified in over 7 years to archive off.<br />
If it was able to dump an entire drive to a file (similar to dir /b) or even better archive to a .rar or .zip file this would be great.<br />
What may need to happen is that all files of a certain age are moved to a different drive (the drives in question contain NO system files) &nbsp;but to keep the same folder structure we can at least delete them once they are confirmed as being backed up.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any ideas on freeware or approaches on how to do this?

Identify and archive files older than a specific date

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
