I admit it was just a desperate attempt.
On the other hand as we talk about automatic internal backups, OpnSense ought to know how to name files generated on its own - and just to be clear: It generally does (it's just one out of three).
Without any further insights at where to look at and being a feature I hardly ever need, I'll leave it as it is.

I even deleted all the (automatically generated) files in the backup directory plus the .json file; New ones were generated on a few configuration changes for testing but again nothing to compare in the GUI!

In a moment of annoyance I removed everything again and copied the whole content of the backup directory + .json from another appliance from another site to the local one: Now I can see everything that happened there but nothing new is added within the GUI!

Edit:
Renaming a newly generated files with the filename of a visible one doesn't help - it simply gets ignored.
Putting the contents of a newly generated file in an emptied old one from the other other machine works neither,  the change doesn't show up in the GUI!

So did you remove it?

Yes

And does it show backups now?

Most unfortunately: No, GUI stubbornly insists in nothing being available!

I didn't!
Just edited a manual backup to change the device names and restored it to the newly setup appliance.

Those automatically saved backups were/are generated already on the new machine - the very same whose GUI keeps telling me that there aren't any!

System: Configuration: History
Changes between selected versions
No backups available

That's what the GUI wants to make me believe. But it's most definitely not true as all the automatic internal backups are in /conf/backup/ (Owner:root, Group wheel, 0750 and files 0640)

It doesn't matter whether I am logged in as User with admin privileges or root.

Unfortunately I'm not sure since when but I would guess since I've moved the install to a new machine a couple of weeks ago by restoring a heavily edited backup file.

Any ideas what might have gone wrong and how to get the "compare"-feature back?

Nachdem PEAP schon funktioniert braucht es nur mehr die Konfiguration von:
Services: FreeRADIUS: EAP
Danach, falls nicht schon geschehen, die Zertifikate an die Clients ausrollen, letztere für EAP-TLS konfigurieren und das war's.
