Not sure where to put this as it isn't really OS specific, but I mainly use XP so that's why it's here!
We changed from UTC+1 to UTC last weekend here in the UK, and a recurring annoying problem which I always forget about cropped up.
I back up my system archive very regularly, and the source drive is FAT32 as I want to use it natively with Windows 98SE.
The destination backup drive is NTFS, as it has to be able to cope with files larger than 4GB, such as system image backups.
Of course every time the clocks change every single file has to be re-copied across because their time stamps have changed, which takes ages and is a real PITA.
I know why this happens, it's because FAT32 and NTFS handle timestamps differently, but is there any way around this?
Also I synchronise some of the archive to my netbook, which is all NTFS drives, using the Windows Offline Files system.
The same thing happens here, every file has to be copied, including unchanged ones that are several gigabytes, and it takes hours and hours!
Is there really no answer to this other than converting my archive drive to NTFS or just putting up with it twice a year?!
