Vista - Conditional Copying of Files

12-08-2007

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.

Sounds like a job for Robocopy...
open a cmd windows, type robocopy /?

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