    BE does not have the facility that you are looking for.  The closest would be the File Archive option, but that option is nearing its EOL.

Hi Scrow,

You can try creating a new backup job for the required files/folders which will backup the data to the tape.

And you can configure that backup job with best suitable "include files" option mentioned below.

Files dated

Select this option to include the files that were created or modified during a specific time period. You must select the beginning and ending dates for the time period.

Files not accessed in X days

Select this option to include any files that have not been accessed in a specific number of days. You must enter the number of days.

* More options are mentioned in the article mentioned below.

Please refer: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO99702

You can also try it the other way around by using "exclude files" option to exclude the recently modified files from the backup and the job will only backup older files.

Please refer: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO99632

Hope it helps.

Thanks!!
