## Problem

The exported data will certainly contain date/time fields but no reference to the timezone where those values are valid. As a result, if the source and target instances use different timezones, the time values will be shifted by the time difference between those zones.

[JSWSERVER-5433](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWSERVER-5433) - Restoring Sprint data in a different server timezone broken RESOLVED  and  > Macro (inline-external-image)

[JRASERVER-26039](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-26039) - Verify the system timezone when an XML backup is restored RESOLVED

The workaround: make sure that source and target instances are using the same timezone.
