Conditional Copying of Files

How can I copy files, which have been created/modified after a specified
date, from a folder (and its sub-folders) on one drive to another drive (say,
an external hard disc) maintaining the same hierarchy? Does the briefcase
stuff do it? Thanks for any help.

Re: Conditional Copying of Files

Plain old XCOPY will do it. Use parameters /S /D:m-d-y
