Description

Btrfs and LVM snapshots can be created, compared, scheduled, and restored to help recover from unwanted system or file changes. This development build is useful on systems that rely on snapshots as part of maintenance and rollback planning.

Snapshot restoration can replace or remove files, so users should understand which subvolume or volume is being changed before running recovery actions. The tool is powerful system-storage infrastructure, not a casual file backup app.
