case 4682 - automatic backup runs at the chosen time on the server's clock all year

Browse Source 
The backup time is stored as the UTC moment it meant on the day it was set
and was run at that UTC hour every day, so on servers with daylight saving it
ran an hour off the chosen time for part of the year. SetNextBackup now
recovers the clock time with the stored date's offset and runs it on the
server's local days. No migration. Backup manual page and changelog.

- Server: users with the "Business administration - restricted" role can view [report templates](adm-report-templates.md) but no longer create, edit or import them, as described for that [role](ay-biz-admin-roles.md). Give the full "Business administration" role to users who edit report templates.
- Server: relative date filters such as "today" or "last month" (in lists and dashboard widgets) now start and end the period at midnight in the user's own [time zone](ay-start-form-data-tables.md#filtering-dates-and-time-zones). Previously, for a user in a different time zone from the server, records close to the start or end of the period could be included or left out by mistake.
- Server: when a report fails to render, objects and errors a report script passes to `console.error` are now shown with their contents and stack (line numbers within the script) in the error message, to help with [writing report scripts](ay-report-edit.md#script-errors).
- Server: on servers in a time zone with daylight saving time, the automatic backup could run an hour earlier or later than the chosen [backup time](ops-form-backup.md#backup-time) for part of the year; it now always runs at the chosen time on the server's clock.
- Server: the SuperUser account can no longer be deleted.
- Server: role rights corrected to match the documentation: "Service technician - restricted" users can view tax codes, projects, unit models and meter readings; "Business administration" users can view server metrics; Accounting users can no longer enter unit meter readings; only "Business administration" users can switch an [integrated application](api-integrated-applications.md) on or off or delete it.
- Server: fixed direct notification messages to a user: only the first one within 12 hours was delivered, now every message is.

Choose a time for the automatic backup when the server will not be in use by Users.
The backup runs at this time on the AyaNova server's own clock, every day, including across daylight saving time changes, so make sure the server's operating system is set to the correct time zone. The time is entered and shown in your own time zone, so if you are in a different time zone from the server, the time you see is the matching time in your time zone.
**Windows server IIS Warning** if you are hosting AyaNova via IIS on Windows be aware that there is a setting in IIS that will regularly restart AyaNova automatically and it must be adjusted to not conflict with the backup time and general usage.
If you're not sure then double check the IIS installation instructions [Application Pool settings](ops-install-windows-iis.md#74-edit-application-pool).
