Well, even Matthias probably wants to use a proven file system for backup purposes and not some bleeding edge experimental stuff ;-) Why am I not surprised ...
My view: The standard filesystem stuff in btrfs plus the CoW functionality is damn stable, and this includes subvolumes, snapshots, and capabilities built upon.
There is other stuff, not yet mature, and Jeff Mahoney sent a nice table on this list last year where he listed the back-then valid status, see: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2013-09/msg00029.html The out-of-band deduplication is meanwhile upstream, and - as based on CoW - also stable.
You really should give btrfs a try (again?) ! ;-)
Does btrfs work on filesystems larger than 15-TB yet? When I tried it last year it was totally unusable. BTW, I've also been using rdiff-backup for a long time, if anyone's interested.
