Thanks for all of your input. I decided to go with the Certance LTO-2 drive, based on the cost, and warranty. Besides like I said earlier anything is an improvement over DAT.
Thank you,

I am trying to generate an output file for management that contains neatly formatted information on files residing on a 2000 file server.
I am running cygwin (bash 2.05b.0), on a 2000 pro box.
I have tried a few different things:
ls -ohRSt1 --color | grep -G 'somefileextension' >outputfile.txt...
Yrrk,
Thanks for the input. I looked at the LTO-3 drives, but the cost is a lot more (I don't think I would get the approval to upgrade my backup strategy/infrastructure, I am still using DAT, so anything is an improvement), and I don't project needing the capacity for 5 - 7 years.
Thanks,
Chad
I am going to be implimenting a new backup plan for my company, and I need to decide between the following 2 tape drives:
1. Certance CL400H 1U rackmount Ultrium LTO Drive 200/400
or
2. HP Ultrium 460 (Non-Rackmount) LTO 200/400 drive
I realize that one is rack mount, and the other is not...
I just wanted to say thanks for all of your input.
I decided to create a batch file to run this against all of the various directories that I needed to, instead of continuing the search for a complete solution, due to time constraints. Not elegant, but it is effective.
Thanks again,
Chad
gplamer711,
Thanks for the info, I took a look at the link you provided, and apparently MS has their syntax incrrect. It does not work with a space, only without.
Thanks,
Chad
I have a small update, and a question:
I found out that if I supply any subdirectory, as part of the directory argument in the forfiles command, it works perfectly fine. It just doesn't work when the root directory is supplied as the directory argument.
That being said, can anyone tell me how...
Bcastner,
That makes sense to me. I am guessing that also applies if I run this locally on the server, because if the file gets opened, or moved, or whatever, then forfiles does not have the capability to deal?
Thanks
Chad
That was what I thought at first, but I can browse, edit, and save any file on the file server, so I don't think that is it.
Is there a limit to the quantity of files that forfiles can process?
I am trying to use the forfiles command to create a report of files older than x days, that reside on my file server.
I have the following:
forfiles -s -py:\ -m*.* -d-365 -c"cmd /c echo @FDATE @FSIZE @PATH\@FILE" | sort /O C:\filereports\365daysold.txt
The above runs perfectly as it is. The...
