Robocopy Help

Good Morning,

I am a server administrator but have no experience with Robocopy. I'm looking for a specific Robocopy command to use on a file share used by 300+ people. 

This file share currently has about 2TB of data. What I'd like to do is move all folders/files older than 6 months to a backup drive on the same server. I would like to keep the folder/file structure as well as all file attributes (permissions, dated created/modified etc..).

Ideally I would like to automatically run this script every week (or month) and again find >6mo old folders/files and move them over to the backup drive.

I'm curious, if a folder has some 6mo old files and some 5mo old files, when the script is run the first time, will it grab only the old files - move them to the backup, then the next month when the script is run, will it grab the rest of the files and move them to the backup and re-add them to the same folder as the files that were previously moved over? (If that makes sense). 

I want to make this as automated and clean as possible. Keeping the file structure is very important because down the road if a user needs to find a file, it must be in the same folder path as the original drive or it will be like finding a needle in a haystack :S.

Any help is appreciated.

TIA
