# 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 ## Contributing Help is very welcome!
