file time stamps changed

I have a portable flash drive that I use as backup of jokes, videos,
and certain other files that I pass on to people on my joke list. I
use synchronizers to keep the files identical on the hard drive and the
flash drive.

With the recent time change I noticed the files are all different from
each other now. The files on my hard drive are all one hour ahead of
the ones on my flash drive. I cannot explain how this has occurred and
it creates havoc with my backup process.

I suppose I could recopy everything back to the flash drive and have
identical time stamps but this will probably happen again in the fall.

Any ideas why this happened and how to correct it properly?

What do you mean? Uncheck the "Automatically adjust clock for Daylight
Savings Time" in Time Zone settings? Is that the setting?

With a A DST time change NTFS changes the time stamps on files by an hour.
Resync the files.

The "filetime" in NTFS is "corrected" to DST, FAT isn't that's all. If
you don't use DST, it won't "correct" it.
