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 Confused


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 Wink
