BTW Tend to use touch for modifying timestamps (not grep).

You misunderstood me. I don't use grep to modify the timestamps. I use
grep for grepping - and as a side effect, as the files are accessed, the
timestamps change.

Depending on the backup tool you are using you can retain the original
time stamp of the files.

Access means reading, not modifying - there is no point in backing
up simply "accessed" files.

Or you mean my restore method? I used a simple "copy file", mc, I think.
All files got the date the backup was made. Not what I intended, but
couldn't help it.


However, I would not deactivate time stamping on the part of the file
system holding /var/spool/cron as time stamping is used by the run-cron
script to establish when to fire the certain cron scripts.... There may
be other application using file time stamping to control activity.

Not the access time. As I said, I have disabled that timestamp about two
years ago with no side effects as far as I know.


You know that by simply watching a log file, it's access time is
continuously modified, creating write activity in the disk? That alone is
reason enough to disable that time stamp on a portable.
