preserve the original file timestamps, but whether I use this version of
BACKUP or by saving to and then restoring from a SAVESET I still get
modification times of the current date.
Anyone know how to get round that issue?
I think that BACKUP updates the modification date by design and that's not
avoidable. However, after you've done your backup copy, you could always
change (almost) any date you want with SET FILE/ATTR=xxxDATE=... Just create
some DCL procedure that scans the input medium and sets the corresponding
output file date the same as the original. :)
HTH, :)
