Wrong date on images.

I've been creating weekly images. The image files have a created date of March 2006, even though I created the images in June. I didn't even have True Image in March. The opererations log in True Image has the right time and date, it just the actual files that are wrong. My PC has the correct time and date.

 

Since the tibs are files I would assume that this is information created by the OS, not by ATI. What locale is your machine set up for - can you give us an example of the dates you are seeing.

What OS?
What file system for the drive on which the tib files live?

The dates and times are set by Windows via the file system.
A program could modify the dates/times, but why would True Image do so? That would one heck of a serious bug.

Run a chkdsk/f to see if there's anything wrong detectable in the file system.

 

I'm set up for the UK, my location. I created the images 20th-26th June. The files are dated 15th March 2006 onwards.

 

I'm using XP SP2.
File system is NTFS.
I haven't run chkdsk. The drive is only used for bacKing up data. Manually copying, moving or modifying files all works fine.

 

Is this a wind up?
Can you provide the created, modified and accessed dates of one of the files.

Can the problem be reproduced?

If so, run the following program and TI at the same time to see what processes are working with the files.

I would hope that TI has the files open for exclusive access by tI.

Could be a bug in TI.
Could be a nuisance virus.
Doubt that it's a bug in the file system, but anyhing is possible in the wonderful world of computers.

 

pf99,

This is way out of left field, but just a thought. Could your check your system clock and see when the last time it was updated by internet? Just in case that when the files were created the date and time were wrong, but since then an automatic update of the time and date took place. I know mine is done once a week.

As I said I doubt that this is the problem, but it only takes a few minutes to check.

Have a good day,

The "wrong date" was reported once back in version 2302. However, it showed up as December 31, 1969, rather than close to the actual date.

No fix was given but the poster had a ticket open with Acronis Support.
