AH! Now I understand! The crucial point here is the "zfs rename", which "moves" the original stuff out of the way and then whatever data is required (eg snap @01 or @02) is "moved" to the correct spot by cloning the wanted snapshot. That's quite clever - thanks a lot! It's clear now. But this has the "chance" of becoming rather confusing if too many snapshots or "branches" are used. But that's the way it is… :-) Thanks again.
