Target timestamp problem

[rudyo]

Why are the timestamps on all the folders the current date/time rather than the original date/time of the folders? This occurs on all folders and subfolders. The timestamp on the files is correct (same as the the original)

This is a major problem because the folder timestamp is part of the history of our data. If I am not mistaken, virtually all other copy/backup methods leave timestamps intact.

Mode: Backup (mirror Source to target)
Version: 2.0.0.9
The settings are basically the default.
Both source are on the same computer and thus the same domain (they are on seperate drives)
Both are NTFS


I have pasted the first portion of the logfile below:

I really hope this can be fixed.

Hi - currently VV does not copy folder timestamps.

Is that a feature or upgrade that is planned?

I think for the software to be truly viable as a synchronization or backup product, folder timestamps must be kept intact. I am very impressed with the product and it performs admirably! But this issue makes it very difficult to implement it in a corporate or professional environment.

I mentioned this about FIVE YEARS AGO when I first started using VV.

I have seen many other users posts about the problem.

PLEASE, FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
