Suspicius presentation of time in backup

ph7

XCP 8.3 upd march 12
XOCE 37fbb of march 07, I can't find any relevant changes to this subject in the commits since then. That's why I haven't updated yet.

I discovered this "problem" I think a few weeks or a month ago.

My Continuous Replication job that ran at 12:10 is showing time as 11:10

And the snapshot also

When I schedule a new job I get the wrong default time zone

My backup jobs that run the Sequences schedule (and have their job-schedule disabled) are reporting time correctly
The continuous replication and the delta jobs that are enabled, are also showing the correct time in VM snapshots and Backup Restore.

VM snapshots are showing time in AM/PM. The rest in 24h

I am on CET on all my hosts (x2) and VMs (xoce)

[12:35 x2 ~]# date -R
Sat, 15 Mar 2025 12:36:02 +0100

XXX@xoce:~$ date -R
Sat, 15 Mar 2025 12:36:54 +0100

Has this something to do with the default time zone Atlantic/Reykjavik?
Or could this have something to do with UTC/CET?

I also tested this with a XO CE 749f0 from feb 21, with the same result

Anyhow, it would be nice to have the default timezone set to the same as I configured at the installation which for me is Europe/Stockholm

I'm a total idot, They are all 1 h off.

Question for @florent

And I forgot the NASes and they show correct time.

This is where the backups land:
[~] # date -R
Sun, 16 Mar 2025 20:46:40 +0100

Here is where the VMs live:
admin@t1[~]$ date -R
Sun, 16 Mar 2025 20:50:18 +0100

@ph7 And
When in xsconsole / Keyboard and Timezone:
Current keyboard type, Default ??
Timezone, seems not to be set

ph7

looking forward to an exciting time change tonight.
I checked my schedule in XO

Looks like it will be 2 hour diff now.
I'm not sure if it's a good thing to run it during daylight saving

I dont want to risk anything so I changed to this

ph7

Everything went fine but backups are now 2 hours behind

When I opened netdata on my host:

http://x.x.x.x:19999/#after=-420;before=0;;theme=slate;utc=Atlantic%2FReykjavik

And my test host

http://y.y.y.y:19999/#after=-420;before=0;;theme=slate;utc=Atlantic%2FReykjavik

Hosts and XO vm are on CET but something is still on Atlantic time ??
