  15. When I use Central Point Software Mac Tools 2.0 Backup, selecting method
  16. "differential", the backup date of backed up files is changed (confirmed
  17. by inspecting with CPS MT 2.0 Disk Edit).  According to the doc, this
  18. shouldn't happen: the essential difference between Incremental and
  19. Differential Backup is that the latter is supposed to "_not_ update the
  20. backup dates ..." (emphasis sic in CPS RM).
  21.  
  22. Has anyone else any experience to confirm or refute this?  I've filed
  23. bug report with CPS; I assume they'll get to it after the holidays.
