RE: File Creation Dates

My experience was that xcopy did not maintain the origianl creation date when I copied

files from one machine to another. It did when copying to another directory on the same

machine.

XCOPY, ROBOCOPY, etc all maintain the original date upon copy.

Hello All,

 

I have the need to transfer a large amount of data from one server to another. The source

system is NT3.51 and the destination is Win2K.  I am attempting to transfer these files

across the network. My problem is that I need to maintain the file creation date on each

file. I might also add that these files where created over several years of usage.

Does anyone know of a utility or a switch that would allow for this?
