Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the backup scheduling and restore-point time handling, then verify whether both use UTC; the issue is complete when the timezone behavior and the correct setting for the hours interval are clearly explained or corrected.

Description

Great tool!

For some reason backup seems to be running in UTC, though, making the time selection a little obscure at first. Is this normal?

Should I set "Limit restoring points creation to the following hours interval" in UTC as well?

Thanks for any input!
