My file server is filled with tons of useless files dating back to the 1990's. In an effort to reduce monthly backup and disaster recovery costs I'd like to identify all files with a last access date older than (January1, 2012) and move them to secondary non-production disk storage. I'm running Windows 2008 on both of my file servers. What is the easiest way to locate all of the files that meet the above criteria?
