--------------------------------------

             Summary: Incremental backup is failing due to incorrect timezone
                 Key: HBASE-29825
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-29825
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: backup&restore
            Reporter: Kevin Geiszler


Running an incremental backup at a certain time of the day will result in an exception (see below).  I noticed this error when running IntegrationTestContinuousBackupRestore on my machine using IntelliJ.   The interesting part is I did not see this issue during the day until at or after 4 PM Pacific Time, which also happens to be 00:00:00 UTC.  The UTC timezone is not being set for the `dateFormat` variable in [BackupUtils.
