Hello,

I am looking for some softwares can do the following:

1. limit the folder size.
i.e. I like to limit each user has 500MB space only.

2. move old data to another folder.
i.e. I like to move the files which date is before 12-31-2006 from one
folder and subfolder to another folder and subfolder.

Thanks

There are standard tools for this:

> 1. limit the folder size.
> i.e. I like to limit each user has 500MB space only.
=> Use user quotas.

> 2. move old data to another folder.
> i.e. I like to move the files which date is before 12-31-2006 from one

=> Use robocopy.exe
 
Hello Newbie,

Limit disk space with Quotas, volume based with all versions, if you need
folder based settings, use server 2003 R2 FSRM or 3rd party tools.

You can use robocopy from ressource kit tools or xxcopy (freeware) to copy
data.

You can use PowerShell for this task.

$sourceFolder = "c:\folder\subfolder"
$destFolder = "d:\newfolder"
dir $sourceFolder -recurse | where-object { $_.LastWriteTime -lt "12-31-2006" }`
| move-item -destination $destFolder

The above command would work as well with UNC paths.
