✨ btrfs-backup-ng-list ✨

okay bestie, welcome to btrfs-backup-ng-list — it's part of the btrfs-backup-ng</> family of user commands, and it's literally the "let me see everything" girlie of the group chat 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

btrfs-backup-ng-list</> — show snapshots and backups 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

btrfs-backup-ng list [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So like. This one lists all snapshots</> across every configured volume and their backup targets. All of them. Every single one. She's thorough, she's nosy, she's an icon 👑

What does she actually show you? Three things, bestie:

  • snapshot names</>
  • timestamps</>
  • locations</>

That's the whole main character moment. She shows, she doesn't touch, she doesn't delete, she's just here to spill the tea about what exists 🍓

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --volume PATH — okay so if you only care about specific volume(s)</> and not the whole entire world, pass this. And the gag is: you can specify it multiple times</> if you want more than one. She's flexible like that 🫶
  • --json — output in JSON format</> for scripting and automation 🤖 perfect for when you're letting a lil robot read your snapshot situation instead of your eyeballs. iykyk.

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

List all snapshots:

btrfs-backup-ng list

the classic. the original. no thoughts, just a full dump of everything 🦋

List snapshots for specific volume:

btrfs-backup-ng list --volume /home

just /home, nothing else, she's being selective and honestly? valid 💅

Output as JSON:

btrfs-backup-ng list --json

for the automation girlies. feed it straight into your scripts, no parsing drama, we love a machine-readable moment ✨

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

ngl if you skipped the options and just ran it raw, that's fine too, but --volume and --json are right there bestie 😭

okay that's the whole page!! mwah 💖 this one's from btrfs-backup-ng</>, dated January 2026</> — go forth and list your snapshots, you're doing amazing sweetie 🎀🌈⭐
