Copying files to Buffalo, keeping original dates
« on: January 28, 2010, 04:17:24 PM »
   

Is there a way to transfer files to the terra station and keep the original dates, like creation dates, modification dates, etc?  We have a UNIX Solaris computer that has files we need to store and we're using the command cp -p to copy files over to the buffalo.  This command works when we copy files to our corporate servers and preserves the dates, but not for our stand alone buffalo. 

 

Model Name TS-HTGL/R5

F/W 1.33

 

I am not in the IT business so please keep it simple for my simple brain.

I don't have solaris so I tested with Fedora & windows.

 

Both showed me the date which I've copied the file to my Terastation.

 

It does not show me the original dates.

 

Even though I've tried to copied using archive settings/read-only, it still shows me today's date.

 

In Windows however, i was only able to see the original date in the modified date section in properties.

Thank you for trying, at least I know it's not only me.

 

Anybody else?
