        Since the last upgrade (1.3.1 and 1.3.0), configuration backup for my devices is not starting anymore.
        My crontab is starting it every day at 2:00am

        * 2 * * *

        Nothing is starting and i don’t get anything in the logs.
        Can you please check and/or give me suggestion on what’s wrong?

          Hi
          I will take a look, it is possible that maybe something broke or there is a bug. If you could send me logs from your server that could be more helpful. Send to [email protected] if it is possible.
          If I spot a bug, will push a hot fix update
          Thanks for the feedback and report

            Well, it seems something related to crontab Task planner and the timezone.
            I was putting
            01 02 * * * in crontab

            and it seems it started at 4am instead of 2am
            Am i missing something or it seems that the Task Planner is not aligned to the OS timezone ?

              It is using Debian Linux cron tab syntax if you are using docker images
              You can use https://crontab.guru to get help

                Well, i understood what was the problem.
                My server is in Europe/Rome timezone (CET, basically)
                Mikrowizard still works in Zulu time (GMT) (i noticed it by looking at the logs) so if you plan to schedule a backup in Task Planner, you should put Zulu time (GMT) even if the server is running in another timezone.

                Can we please put a warning in the Task Planner page to ensure everyone knows this?
                Thank you!
