mirror backup changing dates to backup date

Post by kdsprocket »

I have one user, and when his files are backed up, the file dates are changing to the date the file was backed up, even if the file was not opened or manipulated.
Since we share cad files its critical that the dates are the date of the file was used.

Hi,

In backup destination, the files will have the "date modified" preserved, but the "creation date" will be the backup date.
If you want to use the file dates in destination, please refer to "date modified".

When you restore those files, the original "creation date" and "modified date" will be restored too.
