I need to move data older than 3 years from the primary storage system shared as network drives to a secondary storage for long term archival. I do not see a clear option to do that in the Secure Copy GUI, can secure copy do that?

Hello efrias ,
Secure Copy is able to copy date between different local or remote volumes. Based on your description, you could "Add" the source network drive as a mapped drive letter, or using the UNC path (\\fs01\shared). As far as the target, you would need to find a way to present this volume to the Secure Copy server. You could temporarily share the target volume to achieve this goal.

Hello Trevor,
Thank you for replying so quickly. I should have clarify that I want to copy/move from A to B only the data that is 3 years and older, leaving on A the recent data. So far all I see is the ability to copy all of the data.
Hello efrias ,
You can use the Filters settings in Secure Copy to apply a date filter. You can filter both Files and Folders based on Date Created or Date Modified:
You could use "Between: 01/01/1970 to 01/01/2019" or something similar to only copy files 3 years and older.
