Re: select files by dates using a script files

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

You could use Robocopy.exe // and run it as command before in Cobian.
Use Robocopy to move the "old" files out of the original folder to an FTP
upload folder, then use Cobian to ftp them to yur storage server.

If things works well you culd clean up tthe FTP upload folder in command
after in Cobian.


Robocopy.exe is freely available in the free Windows Server 2003 Resource
