Can somebody tell me how to search for files by the date they were created.
Maybe somebody has a script they have created and would like to share. I
have about 5000 files in different directories I would like to backup crated
prior to 2003 and then delete. Any ideas?
Check find(1)
Unfortunately if you try to specify a specific age this is not in Unix
time but in 24h intervals relative to when find was started.
The -newer option on the other hand allows you to find all files
created/accessed/modified since the times of a given file.
The idea is that if you do incremental backups, you stamp a file in the
backup dir and use that as reference to find which files have been
modified since last backup.
