you need venti for dumps, but not snapshots. do "9fs snap" and then see if there's anything in /n/snap. these are ephemeral, not archival.
i don't believe fossil ships with these turned on by default, so you're likely SOL, sorry. assuming my memory from my last install is correct, and it's not installing with snapshots (and, if venti-backed, with dumps on), is there any particular reason for that?
