Those swiches are only relevant if copying from FAT to NTFS or viceversa. They do not help with dir dates being wrong - defaulted to current.
As I said, strange that I still use a nearly extinct tool - NT Backup - to get a near identical copy of dir trees. And on both filesystems, especialy on NTFS, it is very obvious that and when the tree was copied. Ghost is also a very useful tool that still does a great file by file volume copy, but it never could do a tree to tree copy on Windoze.
Are you speaking of some other underlying file system date?
Check the directory created date and the "." and ".." sublink dates on FATXX.
Then get back to me.
On NTFS, the dir modified date also gets updated. But that is by design of the filesystem.
Sadly, the only way to, in this day and age, get fully identical copy of a directory tree is by cloning the whole drive. With all other data. While NU could clone dirs easily some 20 years ago.
You can pull those truly out of thin air and since they are rehashed 4000 times brute forcing those is slow even on most modern hardware. Generally in the range of a 1000 to 5000 keys per second. More than a thousand years for a 8 character password. And you can't even use a shorter password on WPA.
The fact that this comment has been modded insightful and not funny is a very real proof that the Slashdot readership is far removed from the hot grits days.
Well, he is just a kid. Probably had some imaging tools on the local server and couldn't be bothered to get the disk out. A beginner's mistake!
But you didn't look closely enough. Those were open racks with motherboards on them. The red lights provide a nice movie style heartbeat status display.
It is intentional. We are entering the age of consumer driven technology development. Even Microsoft is betting on the BYOD bandwagon.
The problem is, and it's going to take considerable time taking the wrong road to understand, consumers do not know what is right or wrong for the task at hand. We are abandoning working tool sets for barely usable tech, and every new gadget manufacturer assumes that the influx of new users of that device is going to overshadow legacy users. Steven Jobs had a knack for doing that right, but Microsoft large advantage was always its legacy support. They are starting to copy Apple even in that segment.
Devices are becoming dumber. Average users are becoming dumber. The age of hell for IT support.
We all know what is coming but it feels like the industry has been moving backwards the past few years. Features that were standard are disappearing being replaced by much more elaborate procedures in the name of idiot friendliness. The OS is being marginalised by it's shell UI. Not more computers, just appliances.
I am starting to miss Microsoft. And that is not a good thing.

MS and Nokia were already in bed talking about marriage. But it seems that MS didn't appreciate the new Nokia its vassal created.

What about SyncToy? Seems to work pretty well, at least it does for me.
Synctoy doesn't do created date nor automagically sync on network drive / local drive discovery.
Too much manual work.
Robocopy doesn't keep the ACM dates across volumes. So it is certainly not a 1:1 copy.
The only thing that comes close, but still not there completely, is the legacy MS (Veritas) backup utility. And that one is far from automated.
You can have both.

There are even older bugs. Like the runaway GDI usage.
But the unified UI experience tops the telemetry deduced decision making list of moronic google employees.
Obviously a new user.
Things have been breaking apart since the early twenties versions constantly. And rarely for the better.
You are confusing grid frequency with local transients. Those are not the same.
It's a new Webster word. A portmanteau of line-of-sight and on-site.
Last one out please turn of the lights.
Not seeing anything about WPA.

GPUs do change the picture a bit.
Oh yes, a original power over ethernet cable.

You forgot the essential cable...
No toolbox is complete without the etherkiller.
I believe we should "think different".
To me, the whole metro start is just a glorified screensaver. And I intend to use it like that..

after that I'm lost..
I thought something like this already existed. And it worked pretty well at the time.

Looks like an upmarket copy of Dashew's Unsailboat..
Look here http://www.dashewoffshore.com/fpb83_intro.asp for the old boat or here http://www.dashewoffshore.com/fpb112.asp for the new.
Which means most electronic devices of today. Including the iPhone.
Oh shit, the infinite improbability drive is on the fritz again.
Windows for Windex!
