Why do i see in my YaST, that automaticaly snapshots are taken by the hour?
I am a bit concerned that such may fill up my root.
Do i need to change some settings somewhere?
Hints and ideas are very welcome.
Whether you need it or not is entirely up to you. Show
snapper get-config

I have that behaviour since about November last year. It appears to write each hour a new snapshot, but removes older once leaving a snapshot per day.
I want no snapshot beyond those manually created by myself.
If you do not like it, change it to the values you need.
And please, post computer output as preformatted text so it remains readable.

Thanks, mate. And where may i do such?
(Please no cryptic terminal commands with root access.)
The best info found by googling is this one:
But such includes terminal commands and no newbie-secure applications for configuration.
I managed to configure snapper as such:

Let’s see how that works out.
Key enabler had been the command posted above by arvidjaar:
snapper get-config
This allowed me having awareness of the variables in question.
From the good info link shared above, i got this command like to be executes as root:
snapper -c root set-config “PASTE_VARIABLE_HERE=PASTE_DESIRED_VALUE_HERE”
By replacing the variable and the desired value in that command, i was able to modify the config for snapper.
Another activity as root in the terminal, another chance to break my system.
