Hi all
I have the problem about archive the file on my C: drive to D: Drive
I use the structure
File loop (for select the file older then 1 day)
Copy/Move File (Enable Move option and Recure to Subfolder)
End Loop
But the file on D: Drive is not contain the old folder structure.
How can I move the file with the folder structure.

Look at the "Synchronize folders" action. It is more comfortable for backups. It copies only newest files and saves the folder structure.
For backups you may use unidirectional synchronization.
We use this action for our backups too.

But I want to remove the old file after I archive It

"Synchronize folders" overwrites old files in destination folder. Thus, you always have the newest version of your files.

But I want to delete the old file after archive for free disk space and I want to leave the current file is not older than one day.

No problem. Put the "delete files" action after synchronization.

You may to do the following:

Synchronize folders
File loop (for select the file older then 1 day)
delete File
End Loop

"Synchronize folders" doesn't inform you what files it copied.
