Snapcreator hana snapshot got deleted from hana catalog right after been taken

Hi,

I'm new at snapcreator and also new on backing up hana, so I wonder if someone can help un this issue:

I (finally) succeed to perform a hana snapshot by snapcreator (4.3.1) hana plugin but as soon as the snapshot job finished, the snapshot got deleted from the hana catalog.

The nameserver trace file says:

...and what does DeltaBackup mean?

As long as the "backup job" is running, I see the backup ID inside hana (loged in as backup-user) I perform a

select * from m_snapshots

and see the snapshots.

As soon as the backup job finished, the entries are gone.
