Any applications whic h rely on the forward progression of time ma y give inconsistent results if the time is immediately set bac kwards. Such applications include the processing of timestamped transactions in whic h the sequence of those transactions is important.
In order to recover data in case of an unexpected hardw are or software failure, some applications require that the system time m ust never seem to go backwards. For instance, some applications log transactions to a circular le. These transactions are timestamped, and if the transactions m ust be recovered, the recovery program determines the end of data b y looking for timestamps whic h are out of sequence. If the system time is set bac kwards immediately, transactions whic h occur after the time c hange may not be recovered. Therefore, do not set the time bac kwards using the ;NOW option if there are applications whic h log their transactions using timestamps.
