Description
In rare cases, removing expired snapshots on a SaaS system can lead to a situation where no further snapshots can be created. This prevents the system from creating snapshot backups.
Workaround
Restarting the database may resolve the issue and enable snapshots and snapshot backups to function correctly. If this does not resolve the problem, please contact Exasol Support.
Fix
The removal of expired snapshots now works as expected.
