For example, let's say I keep a bunch of documents, images, videos, and ZIP archives on a remote computer/storage facility (say S3), which I download in a way that strips the files of their creation dates, et al. (say FTP) after a number of years (say in 2050).
What would be the best way to store file metadata to survive such a horrifying process?
cmd
. Open your directory, enterdir /T:C
. Right click, "Select All". Open Notepad, paste. Voila! Amazing, I know. If you're on Linux, usels
with the appropriate switches (man ls
should have more then enough information).
