WD Backup overwrites all "date modified" information

Hello
When WD Backup runs, the resulting archive shows all files on my Passport with their “date modified” date set to the date of the backup. This is a problem because the date modified is a useful piece of information that I don’t want to lose. I can guess why the Backup program does this. But I wonder: does WD Backup have a mode where it does not do this? Otherwise I will need to find another way to use my Passport as a dumb drive.
Thanks!
