Snapshots are not recursive on Btrfs. The snapshot will not extend
into nested subvolumes. Check to see if you are snapshotting the
proper subvolume.
# btrfs sub list -to /var/lib
# btrfs sub list -to /var/
In some sense these are redundant, I'm not sure if your /var/lib is a
subvolume or not. Also please include the exact snapshot command
you're making.
