I have tried to understand how to perform a image system backup on openSuse 13.2 with a root btrfs file system. I have two disks on my computer, both have 13.2 systems. I would like to copy the running system with updates to the second. I do know how to backup the home xfs file system using rsync.
Exactly what steps are required? My only thought is to add mount points for the second btrfs system similar to those existing in /etc/fstab? Root is a btrfs file system, with the other 14 subsystems mounted on it.
1. I originally suggested (in a previous email) backing up each of the subsystems using rsync. It was then suggested to use btrfs send/receive.
Don, You might get more expert help on the btrfs list. Send the line "subscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html There is a current thread there with the Subject "syntax for deleting subvolumes" which contains some useful information about btrfs subvolumes, and some comments about openSUSE's implementation.
