Actually, I seem to be having problems where my rsync script ends up hanging the system again. It's pretty repeatable, and the system is completely frozen and I have to do a hard reboot. Runs for a couple of hours and hangs the system every time. Of course, I'm not doing anything special

No, btrfs send is exactly what you need. Using dd is slow because it copies unused blocks, and requires the source fs be unmounted and the destination be an empty partition. rsync is slow because it can't take advantage of the btrfs tree to quickly locate the files (or parts of them) that have

Until an analog of zfs send is added to btrfs (and I believe there are some side projects ongoing to add something similar), your only option is the one you are currently using via rsync. Well, I don't mind using the rsync script, it's just that it's so slow. I'd love to use my script to keep
