Responding to: ???'s previous message
Where is the bug ? RTC or MCU ?

neither, It's the RC reset.

with a RC reset, you (often) get a small window of unpredictable behaviour during power down (with a lousy power supply, during power up as well). NOTE: this is NOT a 'defect'.

Every time that the circuit powers up , the value 00H overwrites on first byte means location 0000H of RTC automatically and previous data in this location clears

I believe that your conclusion is wrong, I beleive this happen "Every time that the circuit powers down" (the difference is often difficult to tell)
