When I configure 'Backup To' and select 'Preserve all item dates' I am finding that only files have their dates and times preserved. When I list the 3 files and 3 folders concerned in XY the status line refers to 6 items so it seems XY regards folders as being 'items' but does not preserve their date and time stamps. Is that an error? If not may I suggest that the 'Backup To' 'Preserve all item dates' option is changed to 'Preserve all file dates' as that would be more accurate?

XY: 26.90.0300
Win: 8.1 x64

Hm, cannot confirm. Over here, all folder dates are preserved with those settings.

This 'Backup To' was from an external USB HDD to an internal HDD. Of interest I had previously made the transfer from the same external USB HDD to an internal SSD on another computer running Windows 7 x86 and with a lower version of XY. The reason I tried again was in the hope that an up to date windows version and a higher version of XY might make a difference.

That does not make a difference. It works with all kinds of drives in all directions.

Can you reproduce the issue?

Interesting update: Just tried again using XY 14.80.0200 and it works fine!

Well, why not try it again with the current version?

Just tried again with version 26.90.0300 - now it works!

Maybe running 14.80.0200 and then 26.90.0300 made a difference?

Yeah, probably
