Daylight savings in Europe

The daylight savings in Europe started March 26th. Australia will switch April 3rd.
www.Appointment.com has a "Time-Zone" feature and for all the customers using it, we changed the European and North American timezone GMT off set's to reflect with the daytime savings times.
Now all bookings between North American service providers/customer s and European and Australian service providers/customers bookings will be reflected with the difference between their daylight savings dates.

If you set up additional timezones to the timezones we have set up, you need to change the GMT off set by your self in the "Timezone Admin"

Backup of online appointments on your local machine

A lot of people hesitate to use an on-line systems as they are scared to loose data or loose their Internet connection to the systems. This can happen any time due server issues, network routing issues or simply network issues. Most of the time things will resolve within minutes or hours, but what do you do in that time when you need access to your appointments now?
