Hi Ulf,

    Thanks for the response!  I tried Robocopy (version XP010) with the
/E /B /COPYALL switches.  It does not seem to have the desired effect
(ie, both the "modified date" and the "creation date" are still the
current date).  Any other thoughts?

Robocopy with the /B-Switch should work.

What "move/copy" tools can be used to copy directories/files to another
location and still retain the "creation date" value?  Robocopy seems to
keep creation date on files but directories are given the current date.
Am I missing a switch in Robocopy to do this?  A backup/restore
operation (with ntbackup.exe) retains the "creation date" as one would
expect.  I am just looking for other possible tools.  I should mention
that with all of the tools I've tried, the "modified date" is always the
current date for directories.  Any help is appreciated!
