AI Thread Summary
To preserve the "date modified" attribute when burning files to a CD, it is essential to use a CD-burning utility that supports this feature. Most CD-burning programs are designed to maintain file metadata, including the "date modified" information. If issues arise, users should check the settings within the software for an option to "preserve modified date." Additionally, certain backup utilities may offer more advanced options for maintaining file attributes during the burning process.

how to preserve "date modified" when burning to a CD

Hello all,
So I have a very old PC and want to backup its files. But I also want the "date modified" feature of such files preserved. The question then, is, how can I preserve the "date modified" part of the file when burning to a CD without zipping the files all up? (it has little hard drive space and can't afford making two separate copies of the zip file - one for the zip file, and the other for the temporary files that are written for the purpose of burning to the disk).

Are there CD-burning utilities that preserve this feature?
Thanks,
Simfish

I'd expect that any CD burning program would do this correctly.

There are some backup utilities out there too which might have more options for you.

Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI.
