logs are not forwarded if windows time-date is changed backwards

Hi!
We have nxlog ce running in a Windows machine. It works ok.
- If time is changed to the future, it continues forwarding logs.
- However, if time is changed to the past, logs are not forwarded anymore. This affects to logs from windows events, from a text file, etc.
It seems that nxlog is filtering the logs and that logs with a previous time than others received are discarded. Logs are forwarded again if nxlog service is restarted (this seems to be doing a 'reset' on expected time) Do you know how could we avoid this?

Hello Sir,
May i ask if there is any specific reason you change the date of the machine? What specific data do you need to re-gather?
