Preserving timestamps when extracting .tgz logs
I have multiple .tgz kernel-panic logs that I must extract from one file. The timestamps for these .tgz files are important. Whenever I use the following:
tar - zvxf paniclogs.tgz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22359 Feb 22 15:03 kernel-panic-20190213020406-3.tgz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22971 Feb 22 15:03 kernel-panic-20190213020844-2.tgz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28344 Feb 22 15:03 kernel-panic-20190213101549-1.tgz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30683 Feb 22 15:03 kernel-panic-20190213154050-0.tgz
It extracts the logs but changes the timestamps to the date and time when I extracted them. This is not the case when I use Cygwin. I know there must be a way to extract these logs and preserve the time stamps. Can you please assist? Thank you.

I believe that this is not possible with tar. The often given option--atime-preservewill not operate on the extracted files. I am a little curious as to how this has worked on Cygwin?

I believe that this is not possible with tar. The often given option--atime-preservewill not operate on the extracted files. I am a little curious as to how this has worked on Cygwin?
