I ran xcopy from both the source and the destination.  I did verify that the creation dates
on the files and folders both are changing.

All I used was /S
 
Did you run XCOPY on NT or Win2K?
 
Also, while the FILES will come over with the old date/time, the FOLDERS will have the current date/time

Did you use any additional switches? I was copying from NT3.51 to Win2K

I just tried it from Win2K and from WinXP and the XCOPY maintained the original date stamp of the files that were copied from another machine.

My experience was that xcopy did not maintain the origianl creation date when I copied
files from one machine to another. It did when copying to another directory on the same
machine.

XCOPY, ROBOCOPY, etc all maintain the original date upon copy.

Hello All,
 
I have the need to transfer a large amount of data from one server to another. The source
system is NT3.51 and the destination is Win2K.  I am attempting to transfer these files
across the network. My problem is that I need to maintain the file creation date on each
file. I might also add that these files where created over several years of usage.
Does anyone know of a utility or a switch that would allow for this?
