 * When using BackWPup, I have to set the job run time back 7 hours.
 * Ex.
 * Job run time: **9:06PM** US/Eastern
    File name timestamp: **2:06AM** US/Eastern
 * Everything in WordPress and coming from the server tells me that the timezone
   is set correctly.
 * Has anyone had this problem before?
 * Thanks

 * Hi Daniel,
    First can I say that I’m really impressed with your BackWPup plugin.
 * However I think I have a problem similar to nengineer, above.
    I’m running the
   latest version of WP (3.4) and the latest version of BackWPup (2.1.11).
 * Nightly backups are being produced correctly with no error or delay EXCEPT they
   appear to be running at 05:30 rather than the time of 02:30 which I’ve scheduled
   in the ‘Job Schedule’ section of the ‘BackWPup Job Settings’ page for the one,
   single backup job I’ve created.
 * I’m transferring the backup file offsite to a dropbox account. The timestamp 
   on the backup file confirms yyyy-mm-dd_05-30-ss and the Dropbox ‘modified’ timestamp
   for the file also matches this. In the BackWPup interface itself, the job’s log
   also confirms 05:30 as does the ‘last run’ date etc.
    At least there is consistency.
 * My website is setup to use the Athens timezone and there appears to be no problem
   there. I’m running the site on GoDaddy’s European cloud servers (not my choice!).
 * Can you help? 05:30 isn’t actually a bad time for the backups to run but I would
   like to have confidence that I can properly schedule backups as I intend to use
   your plugin (by far the best) for many more sites.
 * Thanks – and keep up the good work.
