"creation date" of a restored file #2001

Open Golddouble opened 5 months ago

Golddouble commented 5 months ago

Vorta 0.8.12 Borg 1.2.4

Linux: In thunar I have the column Creation date.

When I restore a file with vorta, the "creation date" of the restored file has the date and time when I have executed the restore process. This means the creation date does change.

I would like that the "creation date" does remain unchanged.

Requested Solution

When borg/vorta makes the backup it should save the creation date of each file in a database. When the user restores a file, then borg/vorta can take the creation date from this database and is able also to restore the creation date.

I don't think creation time can be modified like that. Pls see https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/336300
