Date Modified Dates in Windows Explorer - year 2000?
Although the time stamps are correct in Acronis, the dates for my incremental and full backups in Windows 7 Windows Explorer have date stamps for the year 2000. My PC clock is accurate and as mentioned, so are the actual dates in Acronis. I've attached a couple of snapshots.
Can anyone provide any direction on where I can fix this?
I've attached another snapshot that includes a 'date created' column.
To summarize; when I launch Acronis and click on 'Recover', the incremental backs are available for restoral and they have the correct time and date stamps. The issue is the time and date stamps on the actual backup files within Windows Explorer. As info, I am using and external drive for my backups.
So, back to my original question and concern; where are these March 2000 dates coming from? My PC clock is correct. I'm not sure where else I can troubleshoot this.
Happens to me sometimes when creating / saving new files, not just Acronis files, appears to be a Win 7 problem.
Reboot and try again clears it for me.

I powered down the external drive with the files as well as rebooted Win 7. This did not solve the issue.
Is the external drive on a network, even a local one?
Perhaps an external router/switch has a different clock?
If I had that set-up and situation I'd shut everything down and reboot the network too.
I see from the pictures that the dates are progressing so there's an internal clock somewhere influencing them. does the external drive have its own system , like a Network Attached Server?

Thank you. You pointed me towards solving my issue. I found a forum for the Corsair Voyager external hardrive (which has ethernet or wi-fi connectivity) and it is what is causing the issue. Here is what they said:
"For security reasons, Voyager Air drive by design is an isolated terminal for any network request when running in NAS mode without enabling internet (wifi) passthru. When Voyager Air is running on its own without enabling internet (wifi) passthru, the clock (time and date) stays with clock chip reset value, which is 2000/xx/xx. If this customer really cares about the date and time stamp of folders he creates on NAS drive, he could enable wifi passthru to leash security policy."
Ta-daaa! :-)
