Sites in a geographically dispersed NetBackup configuration may need to adjust the time zone in the NetBackup-Java Console for administration of remote NetBackup hosts. (In this context, a remote NetBackup host may either be the host that is specified in the console logon dialog box or one referenced by the File > Change Server capability in the console.)

The default time zone for the console is that of the host on which the console is started, not the host that is specified (if different) in the console logon dialog box.

For backup, restore, or archive operations from within the NetBackup-Java Console (jnbSA) or the Backup, Archive, and Restore application when run on a client (jbpSA), set the time zone relative to the NetBackup server from which the client restores files.

Set the time zone in separate instances of the NetBackup-Java Console when servers in different time zones are administered.

For example, open a NetBackup-Java Console to set the time zone for the local server in the Central time zone. To set the time zone for a server in the Pacific time zone as well, open another NetBackup-Java Console.

Do not open a new window in the first NetBackup-Java Console. Change servers (File > Change Server), and then set the time zone for the Pacific time zone server. Doing so changes the time zone for the Central time zone server as well.
