Good morning everyone,
As well as using Time Machine as a back-up, I also back all my files up to an external hard drive. However, this drive is now filling up and I need to archive the older folders and files on to DVDs.
Does anyone know how I can automate the process to find all folder created before a certain date and move them to a DVD to be burned ... and delete the originals from the hard drive they are on?
I have been trying to use Automator like this:
Spotlight failed to find the file named "Office Items." Please make sure privacy has not been enabled for this file in Systems Preferences. (-212)
I have double checked and there are no privacy settings selected that could affect this, so not sure what's happening.
Does anyone know ho I can wither fix this issue or find a different way to archive the items?
Thanks in advance.
Simon

I have been trying to use Automator like this:
- Get specified Finder Items (the folder that contains all the files)
- Get folder contents (with the option to search the sub flders as well)
- Filter Finder items
