Move files automatically from MacOS for secondary storage

Channels DVR Server Troubleshooting
#1

I’m trying to write a script for moving my files from my local TB3 NVME drive on my Mac Mini over to my Synology.

Requirements:

Copy all directory names
Only move files that are over 7 days old
Retain time stamps
Remove source file once copied over
Leave any files in directory that are not 7 days old
Bonus if a directory is removed if empty

This is way above what I can do. I’ve tried building scripts utilizing various find commands, rsync and cp commands. I’ve been extremely unsuccessful. Has anyone done something similar here? I’ve been looking at examples for the last 2 days but can’t seem to find something that works. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have used Hazel for this. Lots of options with little scripting, but you can extend with scripting.

While searching for this solution I came across my old post that I still haven’t figured out lol

Does anyone have any scripts that they have figured out?

I’m in the process of moving things around and having this command would be really helpful.
