Backing up my BTRFS file system. I'm on day two of reading the docs, and I still feel like I have tenuous grasp of the ins and outs. To be clear I've used ext4 and timeshift for years with absolutely no problem at all. I'm just looking to make generic backups of my system once a month(most the time I do it manually), and I feel BTRFS is overkill for what I need. I also feel like I'm not far away from it "clicking". Guess we'll see, I still don't ever see myself leaving Linux, but I may switch back to ext4.
rsync works well for backups, to and/or from btrfs included.
Thanks 🍻
