Using ArchiveTimeUtility

Storing

The following command presents the required syntax for the store job:

$ ArchiveTimeUtility store --dir <directory>

The --dir parameter specifies which directory you want the program to look at. You can also use the short form (-d) instead.

Restoring

The following command presents the required syntax for the restore job:

$ ArchiveTimeUtility restore --dir <directory> <input file>

The --dir parameter specifies the directory that the program should replace the existing timestamp data. The input file is the file that was created by ATU (usually with the .atf extension). ATU will use the input file in order to determine which timestamp goes in certain files and directories.

Touching

The following command presents the required syntax for the touch job:

ArchiveTimeUtility touch --dir <directory>

The --dir parameter specifies the directory that the touch command should use. It set all timestamps of all items on the specified directory to the current time. This is useful if you want to remove them for privacy.
