How do I set auto backup timestamp to UTC?

We are using cloud sophos utm ver 9.506-1 on AWS.  We have configured the time of the sophos system to UTC. We also configured auto backups to a schedule.  It looks like the backups are happening however the timestamps look like they are in local time not UTC.  Is there a way to set the backup timestamp to UTC?

  • Hi Khai and welcome to the UTM Community!

    What is the output of the date command?  What times do see with the ll /var/confd/var/storage/snapshots command?

    Cheers - Bob

    Timestamps in /var/conf/var/storage/snapshots do appear to be in UTC.  I guess it's just the webadmin that's showing in local time.   Is there a way to change webadmin to show timestamp in UTC as well?
