But on dashboard the backup is ready, BEFORE it’s starting …? think using UTC ?

Maybe related to php timezone:

Time of last backup in GMT, server in CET. Bug?

The date is in the same timezone of PHP

Backup-data: multiple schedule and backends

This should depends on the different time zones for PHP an the system. This is the expected behavior (https://github.com/NethServer/nethserver-backup-data#multiple-backups-2) maybe we should improve the doc. Thank you Marc, as always your testing is really appreciated and extremely useful!

or an old bug reocurring:

Backup-data: multiple schedule and backends

Started some testing until test case 3c, everything worked except of: Test case 1 (Primary backup) - Success but last backup end time is wrong(UTC instead of local timezone) in dashboard after testing update: [grafik] Test case 3a - green banner after restore but testfiles in directory root were not restored Test case 3b - didn’t work: rsync: change_dir "/mnt/backup/testserver/latest/" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs (code 3…

Hi @rowihei

I think it’s a problem with php timezone.

Check with
ll /var/spool/backup/status-backup-data
if the time of end-backup is correct (i think it will be 12:30)

Now, do the command
config getprop php DateTimezone
if you get UTC it’s a problem with php timezone.

Set the new php timezone with
config setprop php DateTimezone "Europe/Rome"
signal-event nethserver-ntp-save
expand-template /etc/php.d/nethserver.ini
systemctl reload httpd
systemctl restart httpd-admin

Change Europe/Rome with your timezone Europe/…

Maybe someone of dev team can check why in the installation process php timezone isn’t set correctly.
