Error description

• During client snapshot differential ("snapdiff") backups, the
  timestamp in the message that displays the base or differential
  snapshot name and time is shown in UTC rather than local time.
  This is merely a display issue with the message, and has no
  impact on
  backup and restore operations.
  Example of messages:

  Successful incremental backup of
  '\\netapp1-client.example.com\petevol'
  n this example, notice that the client logs reflect the local
  time which is PST,
  but the base snapshot and diff snapshot message time stamps show
   PST+7 or GMT.
  The timezone displayed in the snapshot message will vary
  depending on the local
  timezone being used; the time displayed in the message will be
  the difference in
  hours between the timezone and GMT. For example,  If using EST,
  then the time stamp
  shown in the message would be EST+5. For CST, the message would
  CST+6
