Archive old files

Question / Problem

Is it possible for TreeSize to move files to a specified location based on last change date and retain directory structure?

Answer / Solution

Yes. Please open the TreeSize File Search via the Windows "Start" menu or the TreeSize "File Search" menu, check the drives that should be searched and click "Select template". Select "Modified long time ago" and adjust the date filter value. You can also change your filters, or add more, if you need a more custom set of filter options.

After setting up the search options, hit the "Start" button. After the search has completed, check mark all files that you want to archvie and click "Move", or "Archive" in the "Operations" tab. The file operations dialog will allow to specify the option to preserve the directory structure, as well as creating a log file of the operation.
