XCopy problem

[aharrisreid]

I have created a backup batch file using the XCOPY command, and it works fine, except for the fact that the files copied to a CD all contain date and timestamps of when they were copied. Has anyone any idea how to keep the original date and time? As far as I can see there are no switches which allow me to do this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Use Robocopy, an include the /copy:T parameter to preserve timestamps.
/COPY:copyflag : what to COPY (default is /COPYAT).
(copyflags : D=Data, A=Attributes, T=Timestamps).
S=Security=NTFS ACLs, O=Owner info, U=aUditing info).

Great. Seems to be what I'm looking for. I'll download it and check it out.
