Home Assistant Config is not included, when automatically creating an snapshot

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

When I manually create a snapshot, the Home Assistant Configuration is included:
30_16h19m57s_005_

But when I use the service, the Home Assistant config is missing:
30_16h20m08s_006_

Here is the call to a full snapshot:

31_00h50m29s_013_
31_00h50m29s_013_834Ă—357 13.3 KB

Is that intended? Do I need to change anything to get the real full snapshot?

Thank you!

It seems to be included in all my full automatic snapshots made via an automation at 3am every day.

So this is included too?
30_16h19m57s_005_

Yes it is.

@DavidFW1960 can you share your automation for the snapshots?

I think I can get the snapshot made as the service is available, however, it would be interesting to see any variables you can pass, like naming the snapshot.

It’s not very interesting:

- id: '1519082437913'
  alias: Make Snapshot & Copy Backups to Dropbox
  initial_state: 'on'
  trigger:
  - platform: time
    at: '03:00:00'
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: hassio.snapshot_full
    data_template:
      name: Automated Backup {{ now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d') }}
  - service: notify.notify 
    data_template:
      message: Created backup named "Automated Backup {{ now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d') }}"
  - delay: '01:00:00'
  - service: hassio.addon_stdin
    data_template:
      addon: 7be23ff5_dropbox_sync
      input:
        command: upload
  - service: notify.notify
    data_template:
      message: Copied all new backups to Dropbox

It also notifies and runs the dropbox upload…

I have a habit of leaving my configuration files open most of the day during a long session of tinkering. A lot of systems have issues trying to back up a file that is already open by someone else.
Could it be that simple?
