Hey, this is something that generates a bit of confusion (justifiably) so to add a bit of info that might help with debugging

  • TZ= is propagated to the container but Backrest mostly uses unix epoch time. The timezone only informs the timezone used to parse cron expressions (e.g. ensure that midnight in your cron matches midnight in your local timezone).
  • Separately, the WebUI receives operations from the server with timestamps as epoch times and interprets those relative to the local timezone indicated by your browser.

It's possible that your browser's timezone is getting interpreted incorrectly (though I'm not sure why this would be happening)?
