Archive old files and folders
Hi everyone,
Is there a built-in tool in Windows 2008 to batch archive any files/folders that have not been modified for over a year? Any third-party tool? We need to claim some disk space on our servers and this tool would help.
Thanks.

I think that you can perform that using scripts.
You have to develop a script that allows you to determine old folders / files and to move them to another location (or delete them if you want).
It will be better to post in "The Official Scripting Guys Forum!" so that they help you to create the wanted script.
