# Volume section: "volume <vol_dir>"
# <vol_dir>: Directory of a btrfs volume (or subvolume) containing the
#            subvolume to be backuped (usually the mount-point of a
#            btrfs filesystem mounted with subvolid=0 option)
#
# Subvolume section: "subvolume <subvol>
# <subvol>:  Subvolume to be backuped, relative to <vol_dir> in
#            volume section
#
# Target section: "target <type> <vol_dir>"
# <type>:    Backup type, currently only "send-receive"
# <vol_dir>: Directory of a btrfs volume (or subvolume) receiving the backups
#
#
# NOTE: The parser does not care about indentation, this is only for
# human readability. The options always apply to the last section
# encountered, overriding the corresponding option of the upper
# section. This means that the global options must be set before any
# "volume" section.
