Jasniel Jasniel Getting the hang of it Registered: 2000-04-08 Posts: 77	Hi, How can I move a folder with, 3 GB of files, to different folders based on 600 MB each. Another word - if the first folder reach 600 MB it will go to the second folder.

Next start copying the files and sum the file sizes as they are copied. Change the destination directory when your theshold is reached. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

However, depending on how many files you have to copy this will be a very inefficient and slow way to accomplish this. Would you mind providing use the big picture as I suspect you're not telling the whole story. Why not copy the files manually? Should be faster than writing a script, especially if it's just a one-time deal. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Jasniel Jasniel Getting the hang of it Registered: 2000-04-08 Posts: 77	Hi, Reason for doing so is that I have a folder which the user used to update bitmaps files in and the size of this folder is more than 3 GB. I have to do a secondary backup to CD once a month and if the kix script will be able to copy to various folders, eg Disk1, Disk2, etc and all I need is to cut and paste disk1 folder into the CD.

Quinn has a disk quote software package that will detect the creation of new folder and apply predetermined folder quotas. You are looking more for a real-time monitoring software, KiXtart is not well suited for this. I seem to remember that we had a similar discussion within the last three months about a similar case of organizing huge amounts of images in folders. You might want to search for this thread. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
