Move files older than...

[Homercidal]

Apologies if this has been asked, or seems easy. I want to gradually move some data from an egineering drive to a backup location on the network.

Ideally I would find files that are from a certain date and older and MOVE those files (copy then delete, whatever). Example: Find files from 12/31/200 and older and move them to the destination.

It feels like this should be simple, but I'm not understanding a good way to do it.

Thanks for any advice you have!

I don't think there is any built-in way to do this with FFS. Typically, moving data in chunks by directory makes more sense unless you are moving a bunch of files in a single folder. If you're doing that, a forfiles command would probably be better anyway.

You can do it manually:
