Hi,
A couple of days ago, all my backups generated by cron jobs displayed accurate
local times in the files’ names.
For instance: backup_2013-05-23_04-33… (My local time is “CEST”.)
But now (since may 25th), the same backup displays: backup_2013-05-24_19-33…,
which is not my local time.
The e-mails I receive, confirming backups, are correctly timestamped however.
I think this happened after XCloner last update.
So, it looks as if XCloner now displayed the time of a foreign server.
Is there an explanation?

XCloner uses the php date() to reference the backup time, please check with your hosting support to see what time is referenced on their server.

Hi,
I have just contacted my hosting support and the
problem doesn’t seem to be on their side.

Moreover in the Files Manager (cPanel) the last modified dates and times are correct.
It is the files’ names which are incorrect.
Example:
File’s name: backup_2013-05-29_18-03_example.com-sql-nodrop.tar
Last Modified indicates: 2013.05.30 03:33
Furthermore, I noticed that this problem occurred after the latest plugin
update.

Right, XCloner now sets by default the timezone within the common.php file within the extension/plugin folder, look for this line
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
feel free to adjust it to any value you like! Ovidiu

Hi Ovidiu,
So, I was right! Something has changed.
But why did you change something that worked well before. You know, not
everybody lives in the United States.
Changing the line you indicate may be a solution but it’ll have to be done
again whenever there is a plugin update… and on many blogs as far as I am
concerned.
Not very convenient, unless an option is added in the XCloner dashboard.
