Archiving Data Files

M

mjusty

I have over 1 million files that I need to archive onto to DVD's and would
like to be able to do it the way Outlook does, in that it creates a mirror
image of the folder tree and then only archives what meets the date criteria.
Does anyone konw if such software exists?

Acronis, is backup software. I am looking for something that will cut and
paste only the files that meet my date parameters into the mirror image of my
folder tree on a DVD.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batch_file
There are many scripting sites that will offer guidence/samples

The batch file when exicuted with the appropriate commands will itterate
through the folders you have input and act on the date you have entered, to
eg move files/folders to another location
I dont think that the batch file can be created to write to dvd, in which
case you move to a specific location, then write to cd

If I recollect PKzip can do the same thing based on dates

What are the date criteria? For example, if it's a matter of archiving
everything after a certain date, you could use XCOPY to create the mirrored set
of directories on your hard drive then burn that to CD/DVD using your normal
burning software.

From a command prompt type XCOPY /? for more info on XCOPY.
