"No snapshots available"

[arcreactor7]

Hi, I’m trying to access snapshots for my postgres volume:
fly volumes snapshots list <my_volume_id>

but it shows:
No snapshots available for volume <my_volume_id>

but when i check:
fly volumes show <my_volume_id> -a <my_app_name>

it shows that it is turned on and set properly:
Snapshot retention: 30
Scheduled snapshots: true

is this a bug or am I missing something?
I recall being able to see the snapshots a few months ago when it was the default 5 day retention, I have since set it to 30 days, and today when I check it, nothing is there.

Hope someone can chime in/help, thank you!

Does it help to supply the app name to snapshots list?

I would try fly vol list --all, since it’s not clear that migrated volumes retain the originals’ snapshots.

(The platform will migrate volumes on its own sometimes, without you asking it to.)

It might also be wise to take a manual snapshot, just to verify that it can perform one…

ahh that worked! that’s interesting, as I thought the volume_id is enough to identify
for anyone running into this issue in the future, also include the app name:

fly volumes snapshots list <my_volume_id> -a <my_app_name>

thanks for your help!
