Last modifed Date on Folders not being maintained while migrating using Secure Copy or Robocopy
Hi,
We had attempted to migrate out File server to a relatively new NS-480 (5 months old). When we migrated shares from our file server onto the CIFS shares we had created using Secure Copy we found that the files were retaining all their origional attributes but the 'FOLDERS' LAST MODIFIED date was being changed to the time the migration was taking place. We got the same results with robocopy and we have used both utilities before. Has anyone come across this in their environment? Please advise.
Thanks and regards

asking google:
"The new version of Robocopy that comes with Windows Vista allows you to copy the folder timestamps if you use the /DCOPY:T switch. The XP version of Robocopy is unable to do this." see http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20186464-Copy-a-folder-and-retain-the-creation-date
or from wikipedia:
.. preserve original directories' Timestamps (/DCOPY:T - requires version XP026 or later):
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocopy

Hi,
why not use EMCOPY ?
It keeps these attributes, and is really fast.

Hi.
You can also try an sync tool like Microsoft's SyncToy. In my test it worked (between 2 folders of my pc, no celerra for testing).
By default, it preserves the timestamps. You just need to select the right folders.
good luck
