Hi
I've an old drive backup..........done through some linux, which screwed up all the timestamps to the day I attempted to backup, and now i'm wondering. is there a duplicate file finding tool that doesn't delete, but rather, corrects the malformed timestamp to the older duplicate's timestamp?
Thanks!
I've used recently exiv2 to correct timestamps from pictures (there is an option to extract that information from metadata).
You could also use syncback to do the backup, it has an option to correct time after copy. There is an option to use details from origin file, but can be tricky to use.

Sounds like the sort of thing for which you might want to write a custom Python script.
I believe you can use RSync.
