I've already tried that one, see above (third post in this thread).

Oops, was going too fast through the posts. Anyways, how about XXCOPY?

Cynic:
Thanks for the suggestion. I don't think XXCOPY does what I want (see here: http://www.xxcopy.com/xxcopy30.htm, scroll to the bottom of the page and read the last paragraph), and it's command line only, which I'd rather avoid.

I've also tried a couple of GUIs for Robocopy from MS but I can't get it to retain the folders' timestamps, but I'm not sure if it's a limitation of the program itself or if I'm doing something wrong.

Cynic:
I did a few more tests, and I don't think Robocopy does it, it only keeps the timestamps of files, folders' dates are completely ignored. At least it is able to copy files recursively, so it's better than SafeCopy Free.

Does anyone know of other alternatives? If not, it looks like I'll just have to continue using WinRAR to preserve the timestamps when moving directories across partitions.

Thanks to everyone for your help.
