[solved] Wrong backup time on backup files

[Elleni]

While the backup is executed on the time it was planed, ex. 12.10 in the filename of the corresponding "vzdump" file, it is 11.10. Is this a bug?

one is likely UTC, the other local time?

 

[Elleni]

Thats possible. Can the filename date be modified somewhere so the time corresponds to the actual time? ProxMox VE and PBS both show correct time when issuing date in console.

 

[fabian]

we always store as UTC on disk, and try to display in local time where sensible. feel free to make a concrete proposal how to improve this (besides storing localized timestamps in on-disk structures, which is not something we will implement).

It's ok for me, I don't have a good idea on how one could do this better, maybe just prepend "UTC" on the filename so it's clear that this is not localtime. Thanks for your info.
