Understanding Vera Backup Times

Hi–

I’m trying to determine which is the most current backup of my Vera 3, BUT I can’t distinguish between the various times. Is the Vera backup time is GMT? Know the time when the file was backed up on my computer but can’t relate the two…

Hoping someone can help.

I’m not really sure I understand your issue. Regardless of the timezone, the most recent file will be the most recent time. They’re all the same timezone, most recent is most recent.

From the list of online backups, in UI5, the time is local time.

If you download the file it is named with the Unix time code for the time the backup was taken. Bigger numbers are more recent.
date -d @1436810804 will convert this to your human readable local time.

If you are talking about the manually created local backup file’s name backup.mios2-Vera… The numbers are Serial number-YYYY-MM-DD there is no time in the file name.

Hi z waver

Thanks for the information. Local time… Whose local time MCVs or my vera time?
