Ah, so you are not talking about just backing up your directories and
files, you are talking about backing up the snapshot history, too?
I feel an infinite regress coming on.
I haven't played with btrfs in part because I feared that once I could
make easy and cheap snapshots, I might actually start to *use* them, on
a regular basis, and I could get lost in a mire of time travel. What
happens when I start using snapshots of things like git trees? Horrors,
violations of Nature and threats to sanity.
Life is easier when one lives in the present and resists forking the
past. I have never concluded that, impressive as btrfs is, it would
improve my life. With great power comes great responsibility, I am not
sure btrfs would be worth it to mortal me.

deduplication" as he retreats, shaking his head, looking tired.
