i am looking at ways to streamline my backups (for disaster recovery purposes). i backup up millions of small files, many haven’t been accessed or modified in years. i was wondering if there was any way i can add a date exclusion - eg dont backup a file that hasnt been accessed in over 2 years. i have been having a look but cant see anything so i thought it would ask the question here. thanks

We have options like this in our archiving agents:

You will need to do a full backup first, but can then set all sorts of rules to skip files not accessed within X days, etc.
Here’s a list of the options/rules. they are pretty extensive:

Let me know if that helps!
