Any progress on file creation date preservation for Windows? There are many people on Reddit who want this too.
I would also like to be able to restore date created on files. I know this is possible on Windows to edit dated created.

Hello, is there any up-to-date documentation /FAQ on which timestamps and filesystem metadata Duplicacy backs up and restores?
I found an old comment saying that only modified time is stored, not creation time. Is that still the case?
I mainly care about:
- Windows backup/restore: modified time, creation time, folder timestamps, access time (not needed)
- Linux/Docker backup/restore of mounted paths: mtime, atime, birth/creation time if available, permissions/ownership
For backup software, after data integrity itself, I think it’s very important to clearly document what exactly is backed up and what isn’t.
Since the CLI behavior does not seem to change very often lately, this could actually be a good opportunity to document the current behavior clearly
Thanks
