Richcopy: How do I enable file exclusions?

  • 772

I'm trying to use Rich Copy to copy log files that are older than 60 days from a directory. Whenever I go in and set the exclusion rules, Rich copy seems to ignore them and just copies everything. Is there something that I'm doing wrong. Bonus question: Does Terracopy work better for this type of thing?

    I haven't used RichCopy before as I tend to use RoboCopy from the command line for this type of thing.

    Robocopy /MINAGE:60

    would basically only copy stuff older than 60 days. Lots more options are available in this rediculously usefull tool.

    Alternatively, if its a one off and the files are in one folder you could order the folder by date (created / modified) and copy the ones older than 6 months.

    Another alternative if its a one of, and the files are spread across directories etc would be to use the windows search tool and search for *.log older than 60 days etc.

  2. Ensure you are using the latest copy of RichCopy, the current copy (as of today) is 4.0.217

    Similar problems were reported in older versions.
