Use of ISO date-time format in backups

Not a real bugger but it will be more convenient if 20201020_235020 style format is used instead of current 10.20.2020_23-50-20 …

The time also does not take the current timezone/local time into account.

Can you change to your local timezone finally?

Thank you for pointing it out. NTP & timezone was correct but RTC Time (hwclock) was not synched. I just assumed it was default and didn’t check before. This is basic Linux

For reference (RHEL):

timedatectl
hwclock --systohc
nano /etc/sysconfig/ntpdate

Now fingers crossed for the next backup…

My system is Ubuntu, and the last command: nano /etc/sysconfig/ntpdate is empty and cannot be saved. What directive should put into the ntpdate?
