initial backups setup

[arakyta_andy]

Good morning. I am trying to get backup routines set for mid-night, however when I come in the next morning they've begun at 5am. I deleted the original backup routines and re-created but it's still happening. The cron job for backups looks good too. What am I missing?

hi,

is the timezone of the server correct?

 

[arakyta_andy]

When I first deployed this server it was incorrect, then I changed the time zone to EST. The backups still began at 5. Then deleted the backups and re-configured. Same outcome.

 

[oguz]

can you post the cronjob?

what time do you see in the GUI? (on the graphs on so on) and what is the output of timedatectl

 

[arakyta_andy]

GUI is showing the correct time

I've checked all time server ( CLI ) and web gui is same.
