Hello - I generally use robocopy to mirror and clone directories --
I wanted to do a quick copy so I issued the command
copy /s /n /c <source> <target>
and to my surprise more files would have been copied then I would be copied -- I then did
the same copy in preview mode with robocopy and just the one file that I thought would be copied
upon further inspection, I found that the file in question had the exact size, date, and time to the second, but
target file had "000" fraction of a second when the source file value was non-zero
so, in practice are files considered the same if they just differ at the sub-second level?
thanks
