It should be simple, but I can't seem to get it right. Unlike newer Windows versions, XP does not preserve folder dates with copy and paste. Objective: Copy all files and folders from one partition data to another from XP, preserving the folder date. The new partition has a different file system and a new cluster size, so clones aren't possible. It's possible to make a copy to an image and then unzip it, but that seems like a long time to copy 1 TiB and a lot of free space is required. I've seen several programs that copy files and folders while preserving the folder's backup date, but these programs don't copy to the root directory; they only copy to a single folder. Therefore, they wouldn't be suitable for maintaining a well-organized file allocation table and could cause problems with long filenames. These are: -Argentum Backup -Cobian Backup -Fbackup So, I decided to look for a program that copies files and folders to the root directory. I've tried over 20 programs, and it doesn't seem to exist. By example these do not retain the date: -Carifreed SimplySync Backup -Microsoft Richcopy -Microsoft Robocopy (command line) I've only gotten a little bit of success with XXclone (command line), but only halfway. It turns out that using /T only copies folders, not files. So I'd have to copy the folders first with xxcopy Q:\ K:\ /E /H /K /T And then the files with xxcopy Q:\ K:\ /E /H /K (Q: and K: are the drive letters) Are there commands in xxclone to copy one partition to another while preserving the folder's date? Is there a program with a graphical interface that can do this? I don't think I'm asking for anything special. I don't understand why it's so difficult... Edit: Achieved with Total Commander. You must first select "Copy date/time from directories" in the settings menu + copy/delete. Any other programs?

I need to do a batch file wich order all files by a date interval, example: @echo off echo Input the date(dd/mm/yyyy): set /p compDate= ::After that i will compare from the actual day (%date%), example: set interval = %compDate% - %date%... Something like that ::After that i need to list all files from a specific directory, example: echo Input the directory: set /p directory= SET Exit= %UserProfile%\Desktop\test.txt ::After that i might i need the dir /tc to get the creation date, example: pushd "%directory%" dir /s /tc /a-d > %Exit% ::After that, i dont know how to get only the lines wich the date interval are, example: Today is 19/08/2014, but i want to search all files created from day 10/07/2014. So i have to copy all lines which have the date 10/07/2014, 11/07/2014, 12/07/2014 and so on until stop on today created files. I tried with findstr but i can't set the date interval, just a specific date to search in the .txt created. Somebody know how to do that ?
