Snapshots (like any other timers and log events) should IMHO always follow the local time presentation configured on the host.

The host should ideally have UTC configured otherwise you are overwriting a snapshot when DST kicks and there is seemingly missing one when DST kicks out.

Missing snapshots is expected. They only offer an additional (weak) safeguard for our data availability concept.

Idk for others, but I always configure everything to local time. (Also for dd-ix https://github.com/dd-ix/nix-config/blob/master/modules/common/time.nix) Then it's much simpler to deal with logs and other stuff.

Same except if your cloud things stretch across time zones 😅
