Hi,
started by cron, I do vzdump my VE 184:
/usr/sbin/vzdump --compress --dumpdir /mnt/stor1/raid5array1/backup/vzdump --suspend --bwlimit 999999 --maxfiles 3 184
The log from the script shows:
INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump --compress --dumpdir /mnt/stor1/raid5array1/backup/vzdump --suspend --bwlimit 999999 --maxfiles 3 184
INFO: Starting Backup of VM 184 (openvz)

but the log from vzdump at the backup dir shows:

Why are the dates different? The system time of the VE's is synced to ntp Server also the VE's node and the backup server.
vzdump version is 1.2-5
best regards
