How to find all files in all directories which date of creation will defend from current date more, than for 1 month and to place them in archive?

Hi Piergiacomo Perini,
Thanks for the answer.

I wish to specify:
-mtime (modification date)
And how to find creation date?

Hi Smagilov,

you cannot retrieve the creation time of a file, as unix does not registrate this - sorry.

Hi again,
you are right ...
maybe "ctime" could be more useful to you, but this option mean 'time of last change of file status information'.
In any case you could see "man find" for any other option.
