While it's obviously possible to go back to the old cron job I once wrote for s10, it'd be better to do it the proper way. I have checked and time-slider and the auto-snapshot services are all running.

Can you verify that you have the autosnapshot property set for the
filesystem(s) you want to snapshot?

If you are using more than 80% of the capacity, I don't think
snapshots are created either.

There is a third thing to check, because snapshots didn't work on my
machine on my first try either, but I don't remember what it is...
