This command is an Intel NUC on the local network, and /srv/backups is a Btrfs formatted volume. $ sudo btrfs send -p home.20220810 home.20220815 | ssh chris@fnuc.local "sudo btrfs receive /srv/backups/fovo/" Although when I'm traveling it looks a bit differently because I'll use a locally attached USB stick: $ sudo btrfs send -p home.20220810 home.20220815 | sudo btrfs receive /run/chris/backups/fovo/ Because the "root" subvolume contains everything, including logs and VM images if you use virt-manager, databases, it can actually go through quite a bit of churn. Probably more than the typical "home". -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
