Hi,
I have a folder called 2013 that contains about 20 folders, each containing rar files for each day of the year so far. They are backups but I've discovered that some days the backups didn't complete so he file isn't there and I'd like a script to find the missing files
The way I see it I have 2 choices, first as the file names are in this format 130528.rar (YYMMDD) with some logic I could find any missing. Secondly the date modified, so if I check the first file and it's date modified is 28/05/2013 I could compare this to the next date which is incemented by 1 to 29/05/2013
Something like this
$files = get-childitem -recurse c:\files
foreach ($Folder in $files) {
$latest = get-childitem $folder | Where {!$_.PsIsContainer}|select Name,DirctoryName, LastWriteTime |Sort LastWriteTime -descending | select -first 1}
Now I have the last modified file in a folder I need to see if the next olders file modified date exists and if not then write the offending file to a file
Anyone got any ideas?
