find -type f -mtime +7

be careful, esp. if you do not use -type f . You can bracket 'between 7 and 9 days' etc with:

  find -type f -mtime +7 -a -mtime -9

This is useful for answering questions like 'wtf happened to my not-backed-up file xxx.c 3 days ago, pretty please $DEITY make there be a backup somewhere'.
