I'm pretty certain that is the normal effect of recoveries. I do not believe there is a workaround. You see the same thing with "pass through" transfer of one directory tree to another location with cpio or tar (i.e. cpio | cpio or tar | tar to copy a dir tree). The directories always have the current date/time even when the "preserve mod times" options are used. I think the reason is that the directories, which are actually files, are not copied into the backup image, just noted. Then they are recreated as needed during recovery. -- Jon H.
