    different timezone i guess frequency based should help you here. could you try it with test policy.

    Also ensure for OS if daylight savings are applicable they work correctly to avoid incorrect timestamp being reported and unnecessary backup being missed.

     

    Appliance timezone can be changed by below CLISH

    From the Main_Menu > Network view, use the following commands to set the time zone, the date, and the time for this appliance:

    • Set the time zone by entering the following command:

      TimeZone Set

      Select the appropriate time zone from the displayed list.

    • Set the date and the time by entering the following command:

      Date Set Month Day HHMMSS Year

     

    you can add them , however master server need to know about all media servers and clients.. not media server need to know about its new brother ;-)

    policy for media server.. i believe you meant to use appliance as media server for new backups.. if so you simply needs to change policy to use appliance storage unit (advance disk or dedupe)

    if you intend to backup media server itself.. you would need to place it as client and point it to tape or disk from master or another media server to use.

     

    hope this helps
