Keeping attributes and creation/modification dates when copying files/folders
bjk:
Total Commander (www.ghisler.com) has an option in its configuration that will copy the date/time of folders, too.
Cynic:
Thanks, I'll look into it.

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.

Please, see the second screenshot of "CopyRite XP" on http://www.msu-hb.de/system/system/robocopy.htm. There is a checkbox "Copy Timestamps" (though, I didn't try it myself).
The download can be found here: http://www.msu-hb.de/download/critexp.zip
Cynic:
Thanks for the suggestion, I haven't tried it because I think the limitation is in Robocopy, not in its GUIs; I used Robocopy through the command line and still couldn't keep folder timestamps.
Anyhow, my search has come to an end: the latest XYplorer beta does what I want through the Backup function, I've asked Don and he implemented this feature in no time.
