Restic not using correct timezone

Restic is not using the timezone set in /etc/config/system. Apparently, it is saving the UTC-Time as the time for the snapshot. So when i check the snapshots, the timestamp is off by two hours as i am in Europe/Berlin.

I never had this problem an Non-Openwrt-Systems. It is not critical, but would be nice, if someone had an idea on how to fix this.

By default OpenWrt just uses the posix string stored in /etc, but the full "zoneinfo" historical time zone data packages are not installed.

If you have applications that need the full time zone info, you can install the various zoneinfo packages (europe, asia etc.) with opkg.

Thanks for the help! Installing zoneinfo-europe and a reboot solved the problem.
