Does FSA preserve metadata when restoring a file

Hi

EV 9.0.2

If I archive a file with FSA, and later restore it, is all the original metadata preserved (e.g. created date, modified date, etc.)?

I am looking to use FSA to archive data for legal cases, hence the requirement to preserve all metadata.

Thanks

should be pretty easy to test, i believe everything will be preserved though the modification date will probably the restoration date

99.9% sure it is all preserved.. Perhaps even modified date

I restored an old file via Archive Explorer, and the created and modified date was preserved, so that works for me. I assume (hope) it's the same case when using FSAUtility.

Sounds good. I think it is the same with fsautility.
