Sarosh,

See Time Stamp Changes with Daylight Savings mskb #Q129574.

>e.g. a file in the snapshot has a datetime of 2003/01/01 9:30 am and that same file on the network now shows its datetime as 2003/01/01 8:30 am. This has happend to every file on the network so now the application thinks that every file has been modified (even though really none of them were modified) and creates this huge zip file. Every file has a 3600 second difference which is one hour.
