Restore vs. Listing dates & times

JonMikelV · September 16, 2017, 1:50pm

When I use the UI to do a restore I get a nice list of time/date stamped versions from which to choose.

Certain command line, um, commands (such as compare) also provide a list of time/date stamped versions.

The versions all seem to be fine but the date/time stamps don’t seem to match for some reason - they don’t even seem to be off by timezone type gaps:

The GUI based times/dates are what I would expect them to be, so from where are the command line ones coming?

All the dates are stored in UTC, and then converted to the user time when displaying. I guess there is some issue with the commandline not converting them for display:

                      outwriter.WriteLine("{0}: No errors", n.Key);

              }

              else

              {

                  outwriter.WriteLine("{0}: {1} errors", n.Key, changecount);

                  var count = 0;

                  foreach (var c in n.Value)

                  {

                      count++;

                      outwriter.WriteLine("\t{0}: {1}", c.Key, c.Value);

                      if (!fullResults && count == 10 && changecount > 10)

                      {

                          outwriter.WriteLine("\t... and {0} more", changecount - count);

                          break;

                      }

                  }

          

                  outwriter.WriteLine();

              }

          }

D’oh, I didn’t realized the GUI and command line list the versions in different order so thought the times didn’t even line up on the minute (otherwise I likely would have figured UTC).

D’oh! I did not even notice that they were sorted inversely myself!
