Use copy2 instead of copy when exporting documents. This preserves documents metadata
Useful when the export dir is used to rsync files to a remote host for offsite backups. The function copy2 makes sure the modification date does not change when exporting on a regular basis. Otherwise, rsync copies all files to the target even if they already exist on the remote. One can work around this behavior with --ignore-existing, but I think copying metadata for backups with the export functionality is important.
