Description

Btrfs subvolumes can be snapshotted and backed up locally or remotely with btrbk from the current Git version. It is useful for administrators who want policy-driven snapshot rotation and Btrfs send/receive backups.

This is backup automation with direct storage impact. Review retention rules, SSH targets, and restore tests before trusting it, because wrong policies can delete snapshots or fail to protect important data.
