Proposal: About

bsbr is designed as a backup and restore tool that completly relies on btrfs formated filesystems. It takes advantage of the btrfs snapshot functionality and combines it with management functionality of snapper.

bsbr creates backups as btrfs-snapshots on a selectable target device. Plug in and mount any btrfs-formatted device to your system. Supported devices may be either local USB drives, but can be as well remote accessible RAID drives. If possible the backup process will send incremental snapshots to the target drive. If the snapshot will be stored on a remote host, it is secured with ssh.

bsbr will support interactive and time scheduled backup runs.

Proposal: Structure

bsbr - gui component
bsbrctl - commandline component
bsbr-snap - snapshot given btrfs subvolume
bsbr-clone - archive/clone a given btrfs subvolume
bsbr-restor - restore selected files from given snapshot to selectable destination
