Daily snapshots are created shortly after midnight. So another workaround is to make sure the RN104 is powered on then, using the power-on schedule.
I'd like to be able to set the snapshot time for daily snapshots, and the time and day of the week for weekly. That would eliminate most of the missed snapshot scenarios.
I think rest of the solution for missed snapshots is simply to make one on power up if the snapshot was missed. I don't see any reason to look for changes. A snapshot taken at time T lets me revert back to that time, undoing changes that might be made in the future. So past changes are not really relevant to the decision to make a new one. I think I'd prefer a setting for this this particular aspect; I can envision some scenarios where I'd rather simply skip the snapshot.
