If I were to set the date back (same year, different month) -- resave a file from its original date (just for the heck of it) -- then set the date back to current, will that affect anything?

  • It depends what else is running at that time. I know some databases and licenced tools that get completely messed up and may stop working if you do that. Best to do something like that on a VM and then copy the file back to your filestore.

  • It's perfectly fine to do this

It will not affect anything seriously. With a different time, SSL connections won't be made, but your purpose is not to perform a connection with SSL during the time difference.

That said, there are tools that allow you to just modify the time/date of a file, which is a far easier method to use.
