In Messaging, you can perform certain time-dependent tasks with the use of the Linux system clock. For example, you can place a time stamp on voice messages and schedule a backup of critical system data.
When you install the system, the clock is set. However, check the clock when you administer your storage server initially. You must also check the clock every month and during a change in Daylight Savings Time.
Tip Use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to maintain accurate system time.
Warning If there is a time difference between the storage server and the application servers, the time difference might cause problems with message delivery and replication between the servers.
