Hi, I'm running a server on Debian 8 and if I run dpkg-reconfigure tzdata it shows: Code: Current default time zone: 'America/Montreal' Local time is now: Tue Feb 6 14:48:40 EST 2018. Universal Time is now: Tue Feb 6 19:48:40 UTC 2018. My question is - which time does it use when it's running cron scripts such as build-in website backups? At this moment the backups doesn't work - nothing is actually generated in backup directory but I might just impatient, is there any way to debug whether there was an attempt on creating the backups but ie. failed while being copied to a mounted directory (another server connected via samba)?
As far as I know, it should be using the local time. But the php timezone settings matter there as well. You should be able to debug cron plugins like the backup plugin with the script /usr/local/ispconfig/server/cron_debug.php The script contains some usage instructions inside.
Thanks till for quick followup. Is there any way to manually run the backup script so I know that the actual process works fine it's just about the timing?
