ElapsedTimeOddities

From RdiffBackupWiki

Make sure clocks in client and server are in synch. If you do not, then the elapsedtime in the statistics will always be off by the difference between the two clocks

I posted this in a forum a week ago and got a reply from Andrew on Aug 16 2008 --Ahd71 08:19, 18 August 2008 (EST)

Thanks for reporting this bug. I have attached a patch which fixes it.

I have not applied the fix to CVS because the fix must be applied on
both the local and remote ends. (The local end has the time we want to
use; the remote end keeps track of the statistics.) During the 1.1.x
development, there were some complaints when a change created
incompatibility between 1.1.y and 1.1.z, thus I'm going to try to
limit such changes on the stable branch.

This patch will be applied when the next development version opens.
