Thanks, Roger. Actually, I have a dim recollection of having set up
a thing called 'rnsapshot' to a NAS appliance for a client some years
ago. Nothing to do with btrfs filesystems, but IIRC this should be
just what I need. Thanks for refreshing my memory.
For many years, I've been using BackInTime (a front end for rsync) to
back up my desktop to a flash drive that I've formatted to ext4. The
reason for the formatting is that if a file hasn't changed since the
last backup, it's represented by a link, which is something VFAT can't
do, but can save lots of space if you have some files that rarely
change. In fact, you can sometimes end up with a drive with more data
stored on it (If you take the numbers given by the drive's Properties
as gospel.) than the drive's known capacity.

I can confirm Tim Evans comment. I've been using BackInTime on a BTRFS
system and I have seen no issues with it after over a year of use.
