so i recently got a new SSD and i decided to use it as my shadowplays temp and video storage its not that big tho with only around 80 gb of space but i decided to do this for the quick loading and since on my hard drive the videos seemed to get corrupt not always but it was not rare either and i was told that it could do with my storage speed not being fast enough. the ssd did fix that problem but my issue now is that it gets full fast. so now i am wondering if there is a way to make it so that once a video is a couple days old it will automatically transfer over to my 4tb hard drive to free up space. i have never done this and when i googles for a solution there were a lot of programs i havee never herd of and some that seemed even fishy. so im wondering if anyone has any experience on this that could help me get the best possible solution for my problem i also would prefer not need to buy the program unless its is really something special. Any advice is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance. I am using windows 10 64 bit if that info helps any

Get a PowerShell script running under Task Scheduler every day to move the contents of your ShadowPlay video folder over to a new folder on your HDD.

Q: Do I have a virus?!
A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not.

 

Q: What email/VPN should I use?
A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way)

 

Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???....

A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself.

 

Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z?

A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself.

 

Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error?

A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me.

You could write a PowerShell script that checks the date of the file and moves it based on the date.

Build goes here :) :

 

 

CPU: Core i7-5960X                        Storage: 500GB Crucial MX200                      Case: Corsair 760T (White)

Mobo: ASUS X99 Deluxe II                             3TB Seagate Barracuda                   PSU: Corsair AX1200i

RAM: 32GB G.Skill TridentZ RGB                   6TB WD Red                                     Other stuff goes here :) 

GPU: Nvidia TITAN X (Pascal)                         1.2TB Intel 750 series PCIe SSD      Other stuff goes here :)

could just create a schedule that would run a .bat that copies the files to your HDD every day or so

This-ish. PowerShell would probably be a better choice and easier to make.

copy+paste the script in that page.

edit it for your hdd locations.

use windows task schedule to run the ps1 once a day

when writing my path do i need to have the name of the drive with the letter since my drives are named? or can i just use the letter alone and it will get it?
