zones that observe the same rules for daylight saving, DPM also automatically adjusts to
accommodate the start and end of daylight saving time. However, if the DPM server and the
protected computer reside in locations that observe different rules for daylight saving time—for

protected server resides in a location that does not—the start of daylight saving time disrupts the

To resolve this problem, you can force the DPM server to reset the time zone offset by removing
the data sources from protection and then adding the data sources back to protection groups.
