How can i manage old data on my file server that as not been used for over 2 years?

I have 4 file servers and more then 50% of the data is older then 2 years
I would like to move that data to another san, slower but i would like the user to have access by shortcut on there share
Would make it faster to backup because the drive would be 50% less big and would not affect users because they would see the same thing in there share it would just be a little lomnger to open file upon need.
Thanks
I have an environement 2008r2 but can transfert everything to a 2012 r2 if needed
Thanks

robocopy is the tool I recommend to use for that. See that: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/51e5f602-b7f2-4d06-adda-1372c30f6250/help-for-script-to-move-old-files?forum=winserverpowershell
You can also add the shortcuts using a script: http://superuser.com/questions/455364/how-to-create-a-shortcut-using-a-batch-script
More if you ask them in the Scripting forum: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?forum=ITCG&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc

How can I see in my address book the contacts that have not been put into groups?

The best way to do that is create a new "smart group" with the following:
This way you can identify those without a group and drag them to one.

I have 3 PC's. Two of them I use at 2 different locations and only use them 6 months a year. So, if I have Icloud for my calendar, and turn on a computer that has not been used for 6 months, does all the old information on that computer to go Icloud?

I have 3 PC's. Two of them I use at 2 different locations and only use them 6 months each year. When I turn on a computer that has not been used for 6 months, does all of the old information from that computer end up in Icloud? Does Icloud push all the new calendar and contact items over the old items?

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

How do i set system preferences to delete file cache that is not being used

My file cache is using over a GB of memory. How do i set the system to free up memory that is being held but not used?

It's normal since Mavericks for almost all memory to be in use, either by applications or by the file cache. That's what you should want, since unused memory is going to waste. The relevant measure of whether memory is in short supply is what Apple calls "memory pressure."
Apple's explanation of memory pressure is here. If you want a more detailed, technical description, see here, and for the source code, see here.

How can I delete old data in citadel

How can I delete old data from Citadel so that HDD is not full when data is continously being logged in the database ?

Hi there,
I could see different possible ways to limit the database size on a LabVIEW DSC system.
a) You could limit the lifespan of your logged data to a certain time by adjusting the option 'Days to keep historical data' in the Tag Configuration Editor>Configure>Historical... tab.
b) You could use the Citadel Database VIs. Archive Database.vi would allow you to archive a database or a part (certain traces/tags, or certain time interval) to another location. With the archive option 'destructive', it would delete the source of the data from the original database.
Delete Traces.vi would delete a traces from a database.
c) The same/similar functionality you can have throught the Measurement and Automation Explorer and its Historical Data Viewer plug-in
b) and c) are NEW features of LabVIEW DSC 6.1!
Hope this helps
Roland
PS: There is a nice link about archiving Citadel on ni.com :

HT4847 How can I delete old backups on my iCloud so that I can just backup my latest things?

How can i delete old backups on my iCloud so that I can jsut backup what is on my device now, and not from a year ago

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
All backups made on iCloud overwrite the old one, so you have only the latest backup with your most recent files. If you have a backup of an old device, open Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage, select the backup and delete that backup

I have an old Ipod 5th gen that I have been using for downloading music from my library. Upon purchasing an Ipod touch and registering it in Itunes, I can no longer sync tunes to my old ipod. How can I get that option back on my old ipod?

- For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

BTW, this is the iPod touch forum.

In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)

In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to Firefox 4 (beta)

Firefox 3.6.* and earlier set the downloaded file's modification time to the current time. In Firefox 4.0 the behavior has been changed, if a server returns a timestamp telling when the file was last modified (Last-Modified header), it is used instead.
You can revert to the previous behaviour by using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/93121/ Download Timestamp] add-on.

Connect old iPhone to computer and save the pictures on computer.
Connect new iPhone and sync the pictures to your new iPhone.

How can I access the iTunes store. I have had it on my computer for 2 years and 10 days ago it stopped allowing me access? I have credit and cannot use it.

How can I gain access to the itunes store? I have had an account for 2 years and 10 days ago it stopped allowing me access. I have credit and can't use it.

You have encounter Activation Lock, the antitheft feature of the iPhone. The previous owner did not remove the phone from their account. The phone cannot be used until they do. Return to the store and let them sort this out. It is very unusual for someone to "forget" to disable activation lock, as it is necessary to do so to erase personal information on the phone. So it is quite likely you bought a stolen phone.
