Looking for a File Copy Utility
All I an looking for a file copy utility that can the following
Copy/move source files based on date (year) to a destination folder but I want the folder tree to remain intact
So if I copy sub-folders deep within a folder, I want to preserve the tree

OK so if I start the copy from deep within the clients folder (The top folder is Clients with tons of sub folders) and my destination is clients of course. So for set dst=c:\clients will drop the source files under that clients folder preserving the tree?
I will try this tomorrow

Sounds like you're saying Dst is below Src. If so, that may cause problems.
If Src=c:\clients\dir1\dir1a\
...or something like that.
...and Dst=c:\clients\destination
...or something like that, it should be fine.
As long as Src is outside of the c:\clients\destinationonly

Just discover another problem when I tried to run this, The client folder contains over 15,000 files with 3, 112 folders same as my reports folder that contain 152,702 files with 29,802 folders
It;s a pain clicking thru all the folder to determine which folder is year 2010 and older
I would like to perform a search for any file/folder with a date stamp of 2010 or older and move it to the new destination on another server but I would like to preserve the tree. Can that be done?
Reason being is anyone looking for files will have an idea where to look

I appreciate the assistance from Thomas Zucker-Scharff and NewVillageIT (NVIT). I will try using the Autohotkey and get back to you
It copies 2015 files and folders.
