Copy specific files while keeping directory structure

[simonp]

Hi, I need to copy files bigger than 3GB from old disk to new disk, while keeping the folder structure and not copying everything else. How can I do it?


Example:


I have:

USBdisk1

folder1

subfolder1

1.mp4 - 3,8GB

2.mp4 - 2,1GB

3. mp4 - 512MB​

subfolder2

4.mp4 - 4,5GB​

folder2

5.mp4 - 812MB​

folder3

subfolder1

6.mp4 - 980MB​

subfolder2

7.mp4 - 3,9GB​

What I need on new disk is:

USBdisk2

folder1

subfolder1

1.mp4 - 3,8GB​

subfolder2

4.mp4 - 4,5GB​

folder3

subfolder2

7.mp4 - 3,9GB​

I need to do this on 15TB of data, so I really need an automated version.


Thank You

I don't have much experience with Automator/AppleScript. maybe the folks over at MacScripter could help.
