Upon completion of my savegroups, I get this warning. It doesn't seem to affect the saves, but I would still like to know what it is.

sysname:/usr Warning: unsynchronized client clock detected

I am assuming that there is some sort of difference in clock from the server to the client. But it should only be a matter of seconds. What should I do about it?
Thanks for any help.

I found this info on techdialog u weight find useful.


Many functions within NetWorker are based on time. When to start a backup, when
to do a full versus incremental backup, what files show up at what Browse time,
which save sets get cloned (cloning will not work at all if the clocks are
unsynchronized.

This reliance on accurate and synchronized clocks has been true in most
NetWorker releases. Some changes were made beginning with release 4.2 for
UNIX that relaxes some of the timing requirements. However, synchronized
clocks are required for some NetWorker functions like cloning and unsynchronized
clocks may produce some very strange behavior in other functions. Beginning
with NetWorker release 4.3 for NT, there is now a server-side check (on NT) for
clocks on the various clients. The clocks need to be within 60 seconds to
avoid this message.

 
Thanks for the info buddy.
