I don't know Des. I didn't realize Windows would manipulate the time 
stamps when daylight savings time changed until I noticed the same 
thing Jim did yesterday regarding xxcopy. A side by side time stamp 
comparison of the C: source files and external USB destination files 
revealed the answer. Since /CLONE (and /BU) use the /BI option which 
compares files by size and date, xxcopy saw the newly changed date of 
the source files as being different and just did what it was supposed 
to do.

Maybe next spring (if I don't forget) I'll disable the automatic time 
change feature and see what happens. In the meantime, I'm leaving my 
fuzzy file time option set at /FF3602S
