DATE format used by tape names

[KaJuHe]

Job Status/Job queue shows the date format as follows:
DD.MM.YY hh:mm (Execution Time)

BUT
Device/Slot shows the name of the tape as follows:
M/DD/YY hh:mm (<Slot: 1>)

How can i change ARCserve to name my tapes in format of:
DD.MM.YY hh:mm instead of M/DD/YY hh:mm?

I do not use Rotation Scheme and ARCserve names my tapes before each job automatically.

I have seen tapes named/shown correctly on other servers (same os, same ARCserve version) earlier but have no idea why the format is different on this server and how to change it and where.

We use BrightStor ArcServe Backup for Windows 9.01

Any help would be much appreciated.

What date format is the system using?

 

[mohamdr]

The date comes from the system reginal setting go there and change the formt you require.

The following settings are exactly same in both servers that were mentioned in my earlier message, in the one that is ok with dates, and the one that is different.
Therefore i cannot accept the suggested solution.

Control Panel/Regional Options/Date:

Short Date sample: 30.3.2004
Short Date format: d.M.yyyy
Date Separator: .

Long Date sample: 30. march 2004
Long Date format: d. MMMM'ta 'yyyy

Any other ideas that will solve this problem are very much appreciated indeed.

KaJuHe,
As Mohamdr says your date comes from the Regional Settings.
This has to be comming from here.
However if your systems are not installed the same way there might still be differences even though if it looks the same when you compare it.
For instance are both your servers installed with English OS? If Yes, is the locale input language set to English on both servers? If No, there is your difference and that can be a possibility.
Another possibility is that your regional settings are set different, however you might always change so that the date shows in one specific format but Arcserve will maybe take the default for the country setting that you have and not the format that you selected.

Bottom line is if it was EXACLTY the same it would look EXACTLY the same. Somewhere your settings are not the same and that is why you don't see the date format that you want to see.

Best of luck

Common sense is very uncommon these days

Everything including the Regional Settings has been compared one by one and there are absolutely no differences to be seen.All suggested settings were already checked once before the original post but i've doublechecked the all now.

Clearly there is a difference somewhere but unfortunately that cannot be seen anywhere.
