Need most recent file name (and modification date) for each folder in a server tree

Question

Moving server with 13TB of data to new site. Data pipe constraints (1TB/day) prevents it all being moved in the time available (over a weekend). We want to move just the 'active' folders first, the the rest later. Need a command line that will recursively find which folders have files that have been modified in the last x days.

Answer 1

The answer is in the question itself :)

 find /dir -type d -ctime +x

or

 find /dir -type f -mtime +x -printf '%h' 

Where /dir the directory where find should start. You can use '-atime', if last access is required. However atime depends on filesystem mount options.
