Is anyone aware of functionality within Windows 2000 server or a 3rd party program that will compress files not accessed within a specified time frame? Novell will do this for files not access in say 90 days. I don't want to enable Windows compression at the folders level that would impact performance as the compress/decompress occurs on every file access.

ie. accounting directory has tax files for 1999. I don't want to compress the whole folder which also would contain 2004 files as well. Just the individual 1999 files for example that probably haven't been accessed in years. And of course they don't want them archived to CD. That would be the easy solution.
