Is there a way to keep the created date when copiyng folders

Post by Ysl »

Hello

I would like to copy a huge amount of folders/files from one HDD to another.

I would like to keep the original date of creation, not the date of the copy because original created date is important for me.

Is this possible with XYplorer ? (Or another manner ?)

Thanks for your help

Yes, use Backup To instead of Copy To, and check Configuration | File Operations | Preserve item dates.
