Robocopy changed only ZIP file timestamps
I used a Robocopy script to restore data files from a backup disk to my main disk, including many ZIP files having various dates. The files copied as expected, preserving their source date and time correctly, except that the ZIP files were copied and given the current date and time rather than the source file date and time. I no longer have the exact command line I used for this, but generally program Robocopy something like:
ROBOCOPY Z:\BackupFiles X:\ *.* /E /COPY:DAT /R:3 /V /FP /X /TS /TEE /NP
I am running Win 7 64 bit. Some time ago, I followed the instructions on your forum page "How to Disable Windows Explorer Folder View of Zip Folders in Windows 7"
This behavior suggests to me that perhaps Robocopy was interpreting the ZIP files as folders not files, and therefore was not adhering to /COPY:DAT. I undoubtedly did not specify /DCOPY:T.
Has this behavior been seen and can it be prevented?
Thank you
