Find Files older than 6 months and then ZIP the Files

Hi All,

I have the script below:

$pathname = "C:\Users\kelly.garcia"
  $files = Get-ChildItem $pathname -Recurse -File | 
	Where-Object LastAccessTime -le (Get-date).AddMonths(-1)
  
		foreach ($f in $files)
		{
			$Name = $f.name
			#Compress-Archive $f -DestinationPath $pathname\$Name.zip
		}

Open in new window

how do I tell the script to find files only files that are equal to or greater than 1gb?

also when I run the script I get this error:

Compress-Archive : The path '2013-09-18 10.57.31.jpg' either does not exist or is not a valid file system path.

$pathname = "C:\Users\Kelly.garcia"
  $files = Get-ChildItem $pathname -Recurse -File | 
	Where-Object LastAccessTime -le (Get-date).AddMonths(-1)
  
		foreach ($f in $files)
		{
			$Name = $f.name
			Compress-Archive $f -DestinationPath $pathname\$Name.zip
		}
