I've been having issues in which synchronizing folders/files between two Linux servers fails to preserve Folder Creation Dates and/or Ownership.
I have read posts about the potential for 'not having rights to change attributes' on remote servers, but I do not believe this is the case.
Using DOpus v13.1 x64 on Windows 11, I'm synchronizing between (Left) a Linux Server using Samba on ext4 and a (Right) TrueNAS Linux Server using Samba on a ZFS Filesystem. My goal is to preserve folder and file creation and modified dates along with file ownership and security permissions.
I am running DOpus as administrator, the "ADMINISTRATOR" token appears in the titlebar. I am in an Active Directory Domain in which both linux servers are Bound. They both preserve file permissions, ownership and date information properly for general Windows tasks, so I do not believe the issues in specific to the two linux servers.
In DOpus, I have these preferences set:
File Operations/Copying Files/Attributes
Copy File Attributes=Checked
Timestamps/Copy modified timestamp=Checked
Timestamps/Copy Created timestamp=Checked
File Operations/Copy File Ownership=Checked
File operation/Copy secutiry permissions when copying, or moving between drives=Checked
I am assuming (perhaps incorrectly?) that these settings apply to Folders as well as Files, since there I could find no similiar setting in Preferences/Folders.
A search through preferences for the word 'timestamp' reveals a Miscellaneous/Advanced variable named: "no_copy_dir_dates", which is set to false. I have left this in this default setting of False.
In some cases, file ownership is preserved. Folder Ownership is not preserved, using the owner of the session sunning Directory Opus for all folders created. During these new folder creations, the Date Modified of the folder is written over the Date Created.
I've attempted to observe the file logs in DOpus, but even with 'all' verbosity, the logs don't show any type of warnings/errors about the synchronization....only the successful copied files.
Is there a way to get a log of failed ownership or date changed from DOpus so I can troublshoot this further?
