The Server Job listing of Backup Exec, displays the job "Start Time" and the "Schedule" in a different time format

The job "Start Time" is listed in a 24 hour time format where as the "Schedule" is listed in a 12 hour format.

If Backup Exec is installed in a languages which only uses the 24 hour time format then no AM / PM will be displayed under "Schedule".

Example:
A job is scheduled to run at 22:00 / 10:00 pm

Start time for a job is displayed as 22:00
Schedule for the same job is displayed as 10:00 pm (if the installed language uses the 12 hour time format)
Schedule for the same job is displayed as 10:00 (if the installed language uses the 24 hour time format)

Hello,

I can't schedule a job with start time set between 12:00 PM (12:00) and 11:59 PM (23:59)...

After the DST issue in BE 12, the time format issue in BE 2012...

How can I correctly schedule my job at 21:00 please ? Thank you.

Really hard to figure out if some times are AM or PM.

Either put AM or PM behind the time or change all to a 24-hour notation.

same problem here. Very annoying in France, can lead to confusion on scheduled dates for jobs.
