Solve : Daylight Saving Time (DST) issue?

1.	Solve : Daylight Saving Time (DST) issue?
Answer» While using Macrium Reflect, I got a update notice. Did the update. Got this explanation: Quote Daylight Saving Time (DST) issue with incremental and differential file and folder backups A bug in the Windows _get_daylight() function could cause Reflect not to recognize that DST had CHANGED. This CAUSED files to be incorrectly flaged as modified when the last modified time was updated by Windows for DST. This has been resolved. Huh that was not a error but a notification . every thing should be running smoothlyThe computer is running OK. THANK you.the original issue was a bug in the Microsoft C++ run-time with the given function. Here's some ref: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/553156/get-daylight-does-not-work-correctly-unless-there-is-a-preceding-call-to-mktime Something is very confusing about that message, though. Filetimes are STORED on NTFS volumes as UTC, and translated for UI display, so the message doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Whether DST is in effect won't affect the file times being stored or read from disk. I think the real lesson is that dealing with DATES and times is enough of a Pain in the censored without having to worry about daylight savings time.
