Can I have the creation dates and modified dates preserved on copying?

Do your copying using the built-in utility RoboCopy.

RoboCopy is just a command. You were going to use a command to make your backups anyway. You simply use RoboCopy instead of whatever you were going to use.

RoboCopy D:\Documents E:\Documents

There's a decent explanation in the link I gave you - RoboCopy.

You can also open a command window and enter
RoboCopy /?
to see its help page.

Hi, how to use the "command" ? CMD Environment?

I have only just realised what you meant by your question.
- Yes, you can use RoboCopy in Command prompts [Start menu, Windows system, Command prompt] and in batch files.
- You can also use many commands directly in the PowerShell environment but I do not know if RoboCopy can be used this way or not.
