Challenge
There is a time shift on the guest VM during the Veeam job when the snapshot is taken. You are getting messages such as the following in the system event log:
Event ID: 1 The system time has changed to <date:time> from <date:time>.
Cause
VMware Tools may be configured to synchronize the virtual machine's time after a few specific events that are likely to leave the time incorrect.
Solution
For more information, see VMware KB1189: Disabling Time Synchronization for virtual machines.
