Retain original date when using CP command

Peter Chuang — Thu, 15 May 2008 16:08:49 GMT

Our company is using online backup. I use NFS to copy K570 server data files into Network Attached Storage device, but the date of the folders and files are today's date. What is the command to copy files and folders to retain the original date from the K570 server? Thanks.

Or better yet:

cd /mount/point/to/backup
tar -cvf - . | ssh nasserver 'cd /destination/folder ; tar -xf -'

or if a local mount

cd /mount/point/to/backup
tar -cvf - . | (cd /destination/folder ; tar -xf -)
