# Time zones

## General information

**Time Zone** settings allow you to define the general time zone for the **Xopero ONE** service. All plans in the service will run according to the specified time zone.

To access these settings, go to <img src="https://319733277-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F0CBTl43C3OO6ySL1DJ6k%2Fuploads%2Ft0Wvq3oVSehIPr0POfJF%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=98b55ad0-f4bf-4922-a84e-e850f4974512" alt="" data-size="line"> **Settings** > **Advanced** > **Time Zone**.

The main advantage of this feature is that you no longer need to account for winter or summer time changes or the risks associated with them.

Even if the user is not aware of the global setting, **Xopero** highlights it and directs them to the correct configuration.

In summary, the ability to adjust plans to specific working periods and multiple time zones makes backups safer and more flexible.

## Multiple time zones in one console&#x20;

Since time zone settings are applied globally across the entire application, it may sometimes cause confusion or result in incorrect backup execution times. Many companies operate across multiple locations and have remote employees, which can introduce additional risks if appropriate measures are not taken:

* [x] When creating a backup plan for a specific group or location, the time zone can be adjusted and set according to the relevant region.
* [x] Individual time zone settings per backup plan can be configured in **Scheduler & Retention** > **Other settings** within the backup plan editor.
