Configuration-backup not saving snapshot-tasks

Hey everyone,
i just moved my FreeNAS to new hardware. Everything went fine by importing the pool to the new hardware, just two issues took place:
1. Email-password for email notifications was not backed up in the configuration-saving file (under General)
2. All snapshots were not saved and so they need to be created new on the new system, what is obviously much much work.

The moving was from 11.2 to 11.2 stable, so no change of versions etc.

Anyone had the same issue? Is there a way, to copy the snapshot-tasks from the old system to the new system or do I need to create them new?

Were you able to resolve this?

Hi dlavigne,
no, i was not able to resolve this.
Finally i ended in setting up manually all snapshot-tasks again.

Maybe someone else should reproduce that:
Save all settings via backup-file -> fresh installation of freenas on a new media (USB Stick / SD Card, whatever) -> Import pool -> Import backuped settings and check, if the snapshot-tasks are there or not.

If not, a bugfix would be great, to ensure, that also snapshot-tasks are backed-up.
