Script for moving files and directory to archive

Question

Hi,
I've search the web for good working script to archive my files and folder with no luck.
do you have a script that move and preserve the structure of older files and folders that have not been accessed for X days?

Hello, I found this quite quickly in the TechNet Gallery. It seems like it would do what you're looking to do.
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Archive-old-files-with-042f859a
# Powershell script - move old files to an archive location.
# Writes log files to $logpath
# Ver 0.6
$path = "C:\TEMP"
$archpath = "D:\TEMP-ARCH"
$days = "30"
$logpath = "C:\Temp"
$date = Get-Date -format yyyyMMddHHmm
write-progress -activity "Archiving Data" -status "Progress:"
If ( -not (Test-Path $archpath)) {ni $archpath -type directory}
Get-Childitem -Path $path -recurse| Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -lt (get-date).AddDays(-$days)} |
ForEach { $filename = $_.fullname
try { Move-Item $_.FullName -destination $archpath -force -ErrorAction:SilentlyContinue
"Successfully moved $filename to $archpath" | add-content $logpath\log-$date.txt }
catch { "Error moving $filename: $_ " | add-content $logpath\log-$date.txt }
