Hi Ulf,
I don't have any problems with the "creation date" on files. It's
the "creation date" on the directory folders that is not right. Could
you try robocopy again, this time trying to copy some tree structure
that has branches (subdirectories) and see what "creation date" is on
the subdirectory folders? Thanks much!
Mike Thommes

Hi Thommes,
I've just tried this here, and both commands
Robocopy /B .\ ..\ wins.dll
Robocopy /B .\ c:\ wins.dll
(first one on the same drive, second one on another drive)
Maintain the Create and Modified date. My Robocopy-Version is the same
(XP010, 5.1.1.1010)
Weird.
Gruesse - Sincerely,
Ulf B. Simon-Weidner

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?
Mike Thommes

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!
