(Although it's obviously less likely if the external HDD will only be connected occasionally.) Don't get me wrong, btrfs is becoming more and more stable, but I wouldn't trust it with my *only* backup, especially if also running btrfs on the backed-up filesystem.This. My working versions and first backups are btrfs. My secondary backups are reiserfs (my old filesystem of choice, which has been very reliable for me), just in case both the btrfs versions bite the dust due to a bug in btrfs itself.
