Scheduled time of job is wrong/Timezone is not applied #1385

Description

Hi there,
i'm new to Backrest. I'm running Backrest (1.14.1) as Docker-Container on two Unraid-servers.
I've created two repo's and created two backup jobs. I live in Germany (UTC+2), german OS, german Browser, german Display langauge.

In my jobs i use this schedule:

As you can see, it should run on every monday at 01:00 PM (13:00 local time, 11:00 UTC).

In the job, it's displayed on the wrong time (19:00, instead of 13:00):

Yesterday was monday, so the job runs at 19:00:

Today, i started the backup manually at 06:18; the time was displayed correctly:

I thought, maybe i should set the Timezone manually in the ENV-variables - searched a little bit and added these values to the docker:

But in any case - if i jump into the Container-Console, i get "the wrong" time (executed on 06:38:56); so it's a diff of exactly 6 hours:
565de9812ddf:/# date Tue Sep 15 00:38:56 EDT 2026 565de9812ddf:/#

Is there anything wrong in my configuration? Or is it a bug / missing feature (Timezone) in Backrest?

Thanks in advance,
Bastian
