Use exiftool -a -G1 -s -time:all FILE to see all of the date/time tags by name, and where they are located (this is FAQ3).
Then, use this syntax to copy between the tags:
exiftool "-DSTTAG1<SRCTAG1" "-DSTTAG2<SRCTAG2" ... FILE
Also, you should probably read the notes about the system date/time tags in the Extra Tags documentation (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/Extra.html)
Note that FileModifyDate always gets set to the current date/time if any real tags are changed in the file. You can use the -P option to preserve the existing filemodifydate. On Macs, ExifTool is not able to access the filesystem creation date/time.

thanks...
i will do on unix for this : On Macs, ExifTool is not able to access the filesystem creation date/time.
On Unix filesystems (UFS), the file creation date is not stored at all.
