Hi team
I'm in need of a solution to move files older than 3months off the file server (Server 2008 (Not R2)) onto an external hard drive or network share. I'm by no means skilled in creating script commands, but from what I've read most of the solutions would mean removing the folders etc from the source when moving to the destination which isn't what I want to do.
I'm hoping when the files are moved, the file structure will effectively look identical in both locations making it easier to track down these files if required.
Is this something that can be done, or am I expecting too much?
Cheers
