with respect to problem 1 where the modification timestamps are one hour different, I am encountering the same problem with a subset of files. I originally thought this only occurred when copying to a NAS but also occurs when copying between two local drives. Support ticket details have been updated with the details below :-
I performed a simple test where various methods were used to copy files and directories from local drive c to local drive d. There was no NAS involved
The three methods used to copy were:
a) windows explorer, copy from context menu on drive c and paste to drive d.
b) syncback pro mirror using standard windows file copy method
c) syncback pro mirror using windows explorer method
The results were.
For most files with method a) b) and c) files copied with correct timestamps
for a) all files copied with correct timestamps
for b) and c) some files copied with the modification timestamp being one hour different from the source drive to the destination drive!
Both methods used by syncback do not replicate the method used by windows explorer! (What is interesting is when syncback does a comparison even though the timestamps are different on the two local drives it sees them as the same).
It looks like there is a problem with a small set of files that where copies using syncback end up with mod timestamps 1 hour out but with windows explorer the timestamps copy correctly.
