# Enable stream buffer. Adding a buffer between the sending and

# NOTE: If enabled, make sure to install the "mbuffer" package!

# Directory in which the btrfs snapshots are created. Relative to
# <volume-directory> of the volume section.
# If not set, the snapshots are created in <volume-directory>.
#
# If you want to set a custom name for the snapshot (and backups),
# use the "snapshot_name" option within the subvolume section.
#
# NOTE: btrbk does not automatically create this directory, and the
# snapshot creation will fail if it is not present.
#
snapshot_dir _btrbk_snap
# Always create snapshots. Set this to "ondemand" to only create
# snapshots if the target volume is reachable. Set this to "no" if
# snapshot creation is done by another instance of btrbk.

# Perform incremental backups (set to "strict" if you want to prevent

# Don't wait for transaction commit on deletion. Enable this to make

# terminates.
#btrfs_commit_delete no
#
# Volume section (optional): "volume <volume-directory>"
#
# <volume-directory> Base path within a btrfs filesystem
# containing the subvolumes to be backuped
# (usually the mount-point of a btrfs filesystem
# mounted with subvolid=5 option).
#
# Subvolume section: "subvolume <subvolume-name>"
#
# <subvolume-name> Subvolume to be backuped, relative to
# <volume-directory> in volume section.
#
# Target section: "target <type> <volume-directory>"
#
# <type> (optional) type, defaults to "send-receive".
# <volume-directory> Directory within a btrfs filesystem
# receiving the backups.
#
# NOTE: The parser does not care about indentation, this is only for
# human readability. All options apply to the last section
# encountered, overriding the corresponding option of the upper
# section. This means that the global options must be set on top,
# before any "volume", "subvolume" or "target section.

#
# Complex setup
#
# In order to keep things organized, it is recommended to use "volume"
# sections and mount the top-level subvolume (subvolid=5):
#
# $ mount -o subvolid=5 /dev/sda1 /mnt/btr_pool
#
# Backup to external disk mounted on /mnt/btr_backup
volume /mnt/btr_pool
# Create snapshots in /mnt/btr_pool/btrbk_snapshots
snapshot_dir btrbk_snapshots
# Target for all subvolume sections:
target /mnt/btr_backup
# Some default btrfs installations (e.g. Ubuntu) use "@" for rootfs
# (mounted at "/") and "@home" (mounted at "/home"). Note that this
# is only a naming convention.
