I'm attempting to backup my 'Downloads' Folder consisting of 14,000+ files to my network storage device. All appears to go well except for 4 files. Each of these is in a different folder. They appear to copy fine except that in all cases the date/time stamp of each file in the destination folders reads '2/02/1982 1:22:00'. This causes the backup to fail with - Execution completed with file copy/delete errors. I could live with this except for the fact that when the next backup occurs the entire 14,000 files are copied again even though I'm running a mirror copy. Have you any ideas about this one? Shocked

Hi, what type of NAS is the target? It seems that the file timestamps are not maintained when copying. Do the files on the target get 'today's" timestamp instead of the corresponding source files' timestamps? thanks

No, they get the timestamp I noted in the original message. Only those 4 files and the identical date/time stamp.

Sorry, again. All the other files get the original stamp.

If you compare source and target in ViceVersa, by clicking on 'Compare', what does the ViceVersa side-by-side comparison window show? Are the file timestamps matching between source and target?

thanks

No the compare highlights these four files. The sizes match but the timestamps differ as previously noted

Hi, I am not sure I understand the problem now. Is the issue that "the entire 14,000 files are copied again even though I'm running a mirror copy" or that 4 files have the incorrect timestamp? thanks

Well, both. I'm assuming the reason that all 14,000 are recopied is because the copy has not finished successfully as the result of the timestamp error. Fix one, fix both. Why have only those 4 files (the same 4 files) failed to have the correct timestamp?

No, it is not related. If only those 4 files have an "incorrect" timestamp VV would try to copy again only those 4. For the other 14,000 , please check if the target timestamps match the source. thanks
