Default IT question (slightly OT)

Yea like change the clock to something forward or back as required then put
it all back afterwards?

I do incremental backups of a couple of datasets with simple batch files
using Robocopy /MIR. These normally work fine, except after the clock
change when they back up everything on the grounds that the target files
are all "older". IIRC they do this for both directions of clock change. No
huge deal to "live with it" but interested to know if there might be a
fix.


I use Microsoft's xcopy utility in exactly the same way, and it does
exactly the same. Just makes the backup take ten times longer. There
doesn't seem to be a fix using any of the cmd-line parameters.
