Request for Enhancement: Please add an option to use the system date for the timestamp on the top-level backup folder.
e.g. If I'm backing up 'foo', Reflector creates a folder named something like "foo 25-02-06 14;38 (Full)". It would be helpful if that folder had the timestamp when it was created.
I do see the option "Copy Timestamps", but de-selecting that option copies NO timestamps. For all folders/files *except* the top-level folder, I want their timestamp preserved because some programs depend on the timestamp of files/folders.
Having the timestamp of the backup on the top-level folder lets me sort backups by modified-date, and that's useful.
TIA
Use System Date for Top-level Folder Only
Re: Use System Date for Top-level Folder Only
But if the creation date is used then you couldn't have several versions? All new backups will end up having the same name?

Re: Use System Date for Top-level Folder Only
I think the current behavior is fine for the top level folder *name*. I'm asking to have the *file system timestamp* on the top level folder be the date the top-level folder is created, rather than copying the timestamp of the source folder.
Re: Use System Date for Top-level Folder Only
I'm understand. At this moment is everything or nothing (All time stamps are copied, inclusive the top level) or non is copied.
