We have a few OpenDNSsec test installations, one with opendnssec-1.4.0b1 and softhsm-1.3.3 and on another system with opendnssec-1.3.9 and softhsm-1.3.2/. I noticed a different behavior that I do not understand. Had something changed, or is there a misconception in my understanding?

Both systems have a similar, but slightly different configuration, using "SoftHSM" with the <RequireBackup/> option. Both systems do a ZSK rollover once every few weeks.

After such a rollover the system with opendnssec-1.3.9, when I use the "ods-ksmutil backup list -v" command, shows that there are keys not in the backup. After a "ods-ksmutil backup done", another backup date is added to the list.

The system with opendnssec-1.4.0b1, however, never shows that there are keys not in the backup. If I try "ods-ksmutil backup done" it tells me that there are no keys to backup and no date is added to the list. The last backup date listed is several months ago. At least a few ZSK rollovers have been processed since then. I do not remember whether these old backup dates are related to a KSK rollover, or that we were still running another version of opendnssec at that time on this test system.
