How to set the system date forward or backward just year, month or date, neither minutes nor seconds?

What for?
Thats the best way to have a dead system...
going forth in time isnt much a problem (except for unpredictable application results and cron issues...) but retruning in the past, I tell the systems doesnt like it at all...
There were software for that at a time (dont know if it still exists: Timemachine from 3S software...). If You need to do such manipulation then save your system completely first,preferably with a bootable OS copy, then when coming back in time restore the system.
