plex-archiver is a command-line tool designed to facilitate the archiving of media files from a Plex Media Server. The script identifies media files within a specified source directory and moves them to a designated archive location. This is particularly useful for managing storage space by moving older or less frequently accessed media to a secondary storage device.
The core functionality will involve scanning the source directory, identifying files that meet certain criteria (to be implemented), and then safely transferring them to the destination directory.
