In several countries that have Day Light Saving (DST) Time MOSS 2007 started to delay timer jobs (as used in e.g. content deployment jobs or backup and restore jobs) by one hour.
A hotfix for this issue is currently being developed.
As a workaround you can configure your system for a timezone that shows the same time as your local timezone but without DST.
For Europe the following table can be used:
|

Countries / Cities |
Workaound Time Zone during DST |

Dublin , Edinburgh, Lisbon, London |

Sarajevo, Skopje, Warsaw, Zagreb |
Harare, Pretoria |
GMT +2 |

GMT +2 |
Helsinki, Kyiv, Riga, Sofia, Tallin, Vilnius |
Nairobi |
GMT +3 |
For other areas in the world you need to check if similar timezone settings can be found.
As soon as the hotfix becomes available, please install this fix and change the regional settings back to your regular timezone.

Hello Stefan
Is the link in your replay to Marty correct?
We experience a dst problem with our daily alerts this problem since sunday (29march2009)
I guess that the dst hotfix is a part of moss sp1 ? or do i miss something?
Thx, Steven
