Description

File and directory history can be traced across Btrfs snapshots to see when items appeared, changed, or disappeared. It is useful for administrators investigating accidental changes, deletions, or snapshot-based recovery options.

This is a history analysis tool, not a backup by itself. Snapshot availability and retention determine what it can show, so verify findings before restoring or deleting data.
