Best practises during daylight saving time change

[Hendrik Peyerl]

Hi everyone,

during the time change on Saturday we noticed that jobs that are scheduled for 02:00-02:59 ran twice.

Are there any best practises or config options to prevent this from happening?

Thanks,

Hendrik

Hi Hendrik,

is setting the server (director) to utc an option for you?

Philippe

Hi Philippe,

thanks for the reply. It is, but it would involve some work as we have many jobs that need to run at a specific time and we would need to adjust the schedule.

Thats why I was wondering how other people deal with this.

Best regards,

Hendrik

Hi,

IC. Afaik neither Bareos nor Bacula has support for timezones/dst.
Another approach would be to let systemd timers trigger jobs via
bconsole instead of using schedules, as systemd timers are known to be
"dst-safe".

Kind regards,

Philippe
