Why are my file and folder timestamps showing the wrong time?

How to make Link have the same atime and Mtime?

One of the fields in the Portable Executable (PE) header is called TimeDateStamp. It’s a 32-bit value representing the time the file was created, in the form of seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC. But starting in Windows 10, those timestamps are all nonsense.
How are timestamps stored on FreeNAS backup software?
The timestamp of the files on FreeNAS are always stored with a mod date equal to the time the file was copied to the FreeNAS server. Really destroys the ability to use my backup software as the backup now copies all the 1000’s of files I’ve selected for backup rather than the few that were modified.
