DateTime format mixed

[AlexLeadingEdge]

This is doing my head in each morning as I go through dozens of servers looking at the backup status. In the backup list it shows date and times in our DateTime format (DD/MM/YYYY) then promptly swaps to American standard (MM/DD/YYYY) in the information about the backup target. Can someone please fix this in the next release????

Hi Alex,

Thanks! Passed to QA team.

Hello!
we using Veeam B&R 9.5.0.1536 and I'm facing the similar problem. The server had EN-US date format (M/d/yyyy) and after I changed it to Croatian (d.M.yyyy.) I got Croatian dates in UI, but EN-US date format still persists in logs and as attribute in vCenter. Is there any way to get Croatian dates?
I assume that recreating backup job will resolve the problem, but I would like to avoid it.

Have you restarted all Veeam services after changing date format? Chances are not all the components can pick up the change on-the-fly. Also, data that was already written to the database using old format will still be displayed in that format.

Yes, I restarted the whole server, but it didn't help.

Hi RSMKW,

First: Welcome to the forums

Second: I can see the previous case being closed with a resolution:

Hello Ivan,

It turned out that datetime format changed that he had applied are "per-user" settings.

To be able to get all further backups with an appropriate format you need to stop "Veeam Backup service" and start it under the user for whom these changes been done. Now you can let the Veeam Backup service running under that specific user (where the changes have been applied to) or adapt the entire server to the new datetime format so that localsystem or the service account run under it also.

Hope it helps
Mike
