OK, DOS geezers, am about to upgrade/migrate a RAID V array.

Would like to retain (or recreate) original folder/directory creation dates in copying thousands of nested folders.

Any hope in xxcopy or robocopy? Maybe some fancy-dancy batch file laced w/ "for" branches?

Do all in moderation...'specially moderation itself.

Hi

> OK, DOS geezers

I am not a DOS geezer. I'm a Win32 Command Processor geezer.

I don't know the answer, but I've typed "copy directory tree preserving date stamp" into Google and it came up with

http://www.download32.com/last-modi...

and if you scroll down to 12Ghosts FileDate, it says in its description: "You can preserve date modified for a complete folder tree easily, for example after restoring files from a backup." Sounds like what you need.
