Get Files as of a Given Date?

I need to recursively fetch files from a certain folder as they existed on 7/30/04. There is no label on that date, so I can't just get a label. I can't find a way using either the GUI or command-line client to get files as they existed on a given date in the past...

Is there some way to do this using the API or something maybe? Or maybe there is some way to retroactively create a label at a given date and then I can fetch that label?

I would take a look at the parent folder's History ( run a View Folder history by Version ) for any given date { July 30, 2004 }.

From the History Explorer, you should be able to view the sub-tree. If the sub-folders look correct, you can get the files from there.

Also note that the history explorer does allow you to create a label on a historical version of tree, so you can retroactively label a tree.
