I have a backup FreeNAS box that I am using strictly for DR. I copy snapshots to it every hour.
I noticed over the past 1+ weeks that the time keeps shifting on this box. I investigated and one suggestion was to run: "service NTPD start"
I do that and the clock synchronizes fine. The problem is I go back a few days later and it's shifting again? Suggestions?
Below is a copy past of the time corrections after 'service NTPD start'
