I have a setup with 2 ignition servers, a front and backend.

Both are running on windows sever with all date and time settings (including timezone) are identical. Servers are virtual machines running on proxmox hypervisor

both have autobackup configured with the same backup schedule: 0 19 \* \* \* (backups daily at 19h)

I now have the issue that the front-end creates its backups at 19h when it should, but the back-end does this at 04h in the morning.

Are there timezone settings in ignition I'm missing ?

Ignition defaults to the timezone of the server OS, unless there's an override setting in `ignition.conf`. In either case, it is captured on gateway startup--changes after that require a gateway restart to be picked up.

Check all of those. (Ignition will tell you what time it **thinks** it is on the gateway status page.)
