Known Causes

3 known causes
⚠️
Incorrect Snapshot Identification
The user has provided snapshot names or IDs that do not reflect the intended chronological order, mistakenly designating a newer snapshot as 'old' in the command.
⚠️
Reversed Snapshot Parameters
The 'old' and 'new' snapshot parameters in the command were inadvertently swapped, causing the system to identify the 'old' snapshot as chronologically later than the 'new' one.
⚠️
Misaligned Snapshot Timestamps
Underlying system clock discrepancies or rapid snapshot creation might result in timestamps that do not accurately reflect the intended chronological order, leading to validation failure.
