The command "sudo btrbk stats" is used to display statistics and information about a btrfs backup performed with the btrbk utility. Here's a breakdown of each component in the command:

  • "sudo": This is used to run the command with administrative privileges. The "sudo" prefix is often required for system-related operations to ensure that only authorized users can execute them.

  • "btrbk": This is the actual command being executed. Btrbk is an open-source tool used for creating and managing backups on Btrfs file systems.

  • "stats": This is an option or subcommand specified after the "btrbk" command. It instructs btrbk to display statistical information about the backups, such as the number of snapshots, the total size of backups, and other relevant details.

By running "sudo btrbk stats" in the terminal or command prompt, you will receive an overview of the backup statistics maintained by btrbk on your Btrfs file system.
