You can view and change the time zone by clicking <em>Admin </em>and then selecting <em>Account</em> from the menu. All dates and times that you enter or are displayed are in that time zone. However, when you create a job and the work is saved to an engine, the time is translated to the current Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).</p> <p>For example, if you are in Eastern Time in the United States, on October 31, 2014 you are <strong>four hours behind GMT</strong>. If you were to schedule a backup job now and set the start time to 7pm, it would be translated into 11pm GMT, and everything would run as expected.</p> <p>When Daylight Saving Time ends at 2am on November 2<sup>nd</sup>, you will be <strong>five hours behind GMT</strong>. Your backup job will still run at 11pm GMT, but that will now be 6pm for you instead of the 7pm you expect.</p> <p> </p> <h3 data-id="resolution">Resolution</h3> <p>After Daylight Savings Time goes into effect, edit any scheduled jobs and move the start time forward by one hour.</p> </article> </main>
