Frequently Asked Questions

Q. The Modified date is older than the Creation date on certain files, why?
A. This is quite common. Files have 3 dates

• Creation - When the file is created in the current location
• Modification - When the file was last modified
• Accessed - The last time the file/folder was accessed

If you therefore copy a file across volume boundaries it will be given a new creation date but its modification date will be preserved hence giving a creation date which is newer than its modification date.
