I recently started using ghettoVCB, my first modification to the backup script was the following #167 . But I quickly got confused with the naming of the backups and its use of UTC for the date/time format in the script, especially if I was doing a few consecutive backups in one day. My remedy was to add the option: TIMEZONE to the configuration file options.
For its use: let’s say you live in Ottawa Canada then you could configure the TIMEZONE as such:
TIMEZONE=EST+5Voila that simple. One last item, if you wish to have similar approach to your log option: ‘-l’ File to output logging. Here is one example that could be used:
./ghettoVCB.sh -l /vmfs/volume/local-storage/$(TZ=EST+5 date +%F_%H-%M-%S)-$$.log
