Thorsten, One other thing I noticed that seemed odd. Assuming snapshot #13 is the latest and current snapshot that is booted. If you run transactional-update dup the results are: Checking for newer version. transactional-update 4.1.5 started Options: dup Separate /var detected. 2023-04-25 13:32:18 tukit 4.1.5 started 2023-04-25 13:32:18 Options: -c13 open 2023-04-25 13:32:19 Using snapshot 13 as base for new snapshot 14. 2023-04-25 13:32:19 Syncing /etc of previous snapshot 12 as base into new snapshot "/.snapshots/14/snapshot" 2023-04-25 13:32:19 SELinux is enabled.

Calling zypper --no-cd dup zypper: nothing to update Removing snapshot #14... 2023-04-25 13:32:26 tukit 4.1.5 started 2023-04-25 13:32:26 Options: abort 14 2023-04-25 13:32:28 Discarding snapshot 14. 2023-04-25 13:32:29 Transaction completed. transactional-update finished I understand using snapshot 13 as the base for snapshot 14 which is where the dup would run, but why is it syncing /etc from snapshot 12 into snapshot 14, shouldn't it be syncing the current snapshot 13 into 14 ? Seems like if 13 had and changes to etc those would be lost ? What am I missing ? Thanks!
