Okay. But what would I have to add to the "Backup Selections"
properties of the Policy?

The snapshot currently is called "backup". So, that's already a
"static" name.

Nah, that's exactly the route, that I do NOT want to go. To quote
my OP:
| I don't really
| want to go the route of having to add /pool/Teamcenter/.zfs/snapshot/backup
| to the Backup Selections of a policy, as this would mean, that
| the Backup Selections would have to be updated, when a new
| zfs is created. I don't like this.
Or did I misunderstand you?
Thanks,
