" the second time around the original is newer than the backup" Is this because your copy target the first time around does not have preservelastmodified="true"?
Ben -----Original Message----- From: David Resnick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 5:40 AM To: 'Ant Users List' Subject: Making copy NEVER overwrite I am making a backup of some files which I then filter back into the original. Unfortunately, because of the way the targets are set up, this is done more than once. I want the copy task to perform the backup only if the backup files don't exist. Setting overwrite to false doesn't help me because the second time around the original is newer than the backup. Can anyone think of a way of preventing the copy target from copying if the file already exists?
