btrbk: Only create snapshots for configured subvolumes.

btrbk

$ sudo btrbk snapshot

try on your machine

The command "sudo btrbk snapshot" is used to create a snapshot using the btrbk (Btrfs Backup) tool with root user privileges.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"sudo" is a command used in Unix-like operating systems to run a command with higher privileges. It allows a user to execute a command as the system's superuser or another specified user.
"btrbk" is the name of the Btrfs Backup tool. Btrfs is a modern file system in Linux that includes built-in capabilities for creating efficient snapshots.
"snapshot" is an option or subcommand of the "btrbk" tool that tells it to create a snapshot. A snapshot is a copy of a file system at a specific point in time, allowing for easy retrieval of previous versions or data recovery.

By running the "sudo btrbk snapshot" command, you are creating a snapshot of the current file system using the btrbk tool with root user privileges. Note that you may need to configure btrbk's settings and specify the target location for the snapshot before executing this command successfully.
