Meanwhile I have also tested it only on openSUSE13.2 with default btrfs. It works but I found a minor issue: During "rear recover" one gets the following warning: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- btrfsmountedsubvolume entry with empty subvolume_mountpoint or subvolume_mount_options or subvolume_path for /dev/sdXn may indicate an error. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- which is a false-positive in this case (because the subvolume_path gets empty when it is actually '/' but this one is already mounted so that it is correct when it is not mounted again). I fixed it (plus some other minor things) in rear-1.16.1-git201412031625.btrfs_generic.diff which I have in an additional separated source project home:jsmeix/rear1161btrfs2 in OBS: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:jsmeix/rear1161btrfs2 that also builds rear1161btrfs-1.16.1.a-*.noarch RPMs (i.e. same name for the binary RPMs but different source projects). Additionally in home:jsmeix/rear1161btrfs2 there is a new simplified SUSE-btrfs-example.conf which should work both for SLE12 and openSUSE13.2 with btrfs.
