Robocopy can not ignore timestamps
Hi, trying to copy 2TB of files without touching the timestamps to a ReadyNAS NVX, but robocopy always adds option /COPY:T Running robocopy /MIR /COPY:DSO /R:0 /W:0 says in the header: Options : *.* /S /E /DCOPY:D /COPY:DTSO /PURGE /MIR /R:0 /W:0 Windows Server is 2008 R2 and robocopy version June 2012. Even if I use /NOCOPY all files get touched by robocopy. It seems robocopy can not set the change date. But it might be a bug, that it's not possible to prevent robocopy from touching all timestamps. Any hints? $ stat Bericht\ GBE.doc File: `Bericht GBE.doc' Access: 2011-11-21 06:33:02.120628500 +0100 Modify: 2007-06-13 12:53:49.479970900 +0200 Change: 2012-08-15 09:00:19.820677500 +0200 Birth: 2011-06-29 09:39:23.572725800 +0200 File on NAS: $ stat Bericht\ GBE.doc File: `Bericht GBE.doc' Access: 2011-11-21 06:33:02.120628500 +0100 Modify: 2007-06-13 12:53:49.479970900 +0200 Change: 2007-06-13 12:53:49.479970900 +0200 Birth: 2011-06-29 09:39:23.572725800 +0200 Thanks in advance!
