My clocks go backwards from time to time. Most people at least go backwards once a year for daylight savings time (though there are a few lucky ones who don't observe DST changes).
Umm, no, this has nothing to do with DST. Your *timezone* changes during DST (if you are in a location that observes DST), but your *clock* should always proceed monotonically forward. A well regulated server will never _step_ time backwards, but through the use of software like ntpd or clockspeed, a clock can be regulated via slowing or speeding it up to sync with an external source.
