 |

Is there a way I can exclude an entire 'root' folder and all its subs if ANY file / folder therein has a 'Last Change' date in 2016.
If I use 'File Filters' to try to achieve this VV will copy all the files/folders with a 'Last Change' date before 2016 in that folder structure, leaving the 2016 files / folders un-copied, when I'm actually trying to exclude all files / folders from the 'root' down because somewhere in that folder structure one or more files / folders has a 'Last Changed Date' in 2016.
I hope that makes sense 
Windows Server 2012 R2 NTFS volumes & ViceVersa 2.5 Pro Build 2516 x64 btw |

Ok, thank you.
Here's what I did to resolve this (as best that I could).
1) in DOS, use the DIR command to list folders only with 'Last Modified' Date at the 'root' of the server, writing to a .txt file :
| Code: | | dir /O:D /T:W /A:D >c:\"Server1 Dirs".txt |
2) 'Sort' this .txt file by 'Last Modified' Date in MS Excel and save (only folders modified in 2016) to an 'Exclude Folders Modified in 2016.txt' with entries ordered and formatted as :
Exclude>\SMPA_BA_Parking>
Exclude>\SMPA_BA_TransportOPS>
Exclude>\SMPA_BuildingControl>
Exclude>\SMPA_BusinessRegs>
Exclude>\SMPA_Community_Environment>
Exclude>\SMPA_Highways>
Exclude>\SMPA_Pollution>
3) In my VV Profile 'Import' (Load...) the 'Exclude Folders Modified in 2016.txt' file into the 'Subfolder Filters'
It worked ! Not a bad compromise  |
