Hello,
I want a copy of my /
I don't really plan to restore the hole thing with the backup, but I need to find again the various config files I may have spread in / to use them in the future, in case of disaster.
rsync seems *not* to be able to do this, at least with the usual -av options.
as far as I can tel, rsync recurses int he .snapshot folder and fills the target.
I don't really understand what is said there:
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Incremental_Backup#Doing_it_by_hand....
"Initial Bootstrapping"
I don't really need incremental backups, I only care of the last config
the source is / (excluding other file system used by /home or data), the target any other disk, for example usb HDD
what may I do?

Why not just use the below?
btrfs send / | btrfs receive /mnt/backup
That will backup the root subvolume (but none of the other subvolumes) to a different btrfs filesystem or subvolume located at /mnt/backup
I'm missing instructions how to recreate bootable openSUSE installation from /mnt/backup ... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
