As a part of initial configuration (whether performed through the Initial Configuration Wizard or through the
CLI), the FMC automatically configures maintenance tasks to keep your system up-to-date and your data
backed up.
These tasks are scheduled in UTC, which means that when they occur locally depends on the date and your
specific location. Also, because tasks are scheduled in UTC, they do not adjust for daylight saving time,
summer time, or any such seasonal adjustments that you may observe in your location. If you are affected,
scheduled tasks occur one hour "later" in the summer than in the winter, according to local time.
Note
We strongly recommend you review the auto scheduled configurations, confirm that the FMC has established
them successfully, and adjust them if necessary.
