The problem here is that I manually can connect

20:TerraTec EWX24/96
 |- 0:TerraTec EWX 24/96 MIDI

24:TerraTec EWX24/96
 |- 0:TerraTec EWX 24/96 MIDI

they always are distinguished by "20" and "24", the sequence of the
cards always is the same, but QjactCtl's Patchbay and aj-snapshot are
unable to restore the connections automatically.
