Hi, I'm using the setup in my sig, recently upgraded from Retrospect 6.1.

 

This seems like a very minor bug, but since I've puzzled over it, I'll report it. Or maybe it's something on my side...

 

I have it configured to send me emails about *everything* at the moment, as I get used to it. I have a number of backup scripts scheduled to happen at:

 

12:30 am

1:00 am

1:30 am

2:00 am

2:30 am ... etc. All after midnight.

 

So, the first one is scheduled for 12:30 am, then every half hour.

 

For some reason, any scripts that are between 12 midnight and 1 am send the email with an incorrect time stamp of PM, not AM. I watched last night and the script does send the email at the end of it, around 12:30 AM, and I can then receive the email right away, but it comes in with a date/time stamp of PM (12 hours in the future).

 

All of the other scripts with the exception of the first one, send me an email with a correct time stamp when the backup script completes.

 

Here's the contents of the e-mail (from the first script):

As you can see, it starts at 12:30 am and finished at 12:36 am.

 

Here's the header from the e-mail:

 

Return-path: <me@redacted.com>
Envelope-to: me@redacted.com
Delivery-date: Fri, 14 Nov 2014 21:36:11 -0800
Received: from pool-108-53-84-162.nwrknj.fios.verizon.net ([108.53.84.162]:62056 helo=new-host-2.home)
	by ina.lunarmania.com with esmtpa (Exim 4.82)
	(envelope-from <me@redacted.com>)
	id 1XpW1r-0004Pc-Dz
	for me@redacted.com.com; Fri, 14 Nov 2014 21:36:11 -0800
Date: Sat, 15 Nov 14 12:36:18 -0500

 

Now, I'm on a shared server, which is on the west coast at -0800, and I'm on the east coast at -0500 (just to explain). So, it seems the server received it at the correct time:

 

Sent at 12:36 AM my time (EST), server shows 21:36 (PST)

 

However, the thing that seems wrong is the Date field: it should be 00:36:18 -0500, right? I would assume that Retrospect is setting the Date field, but I could be wrong.

 

Here's the header from the next script at 1:06 am, which *does* get stamped at the correct time:

 

Return-path: <me@redacted.com>
Envelope-to: me@redacted.com
Delivery-date: Fri, 14 Nov 2014 22:06:48 -0800

Date: Sat, 15 Nov 14 1:06:55 -0500

Sent at 1:06 AM my time (EST), server shows 22:06 (PST), Date is correct at 1:06.
