💖 btrfs-sxbackup-run(1) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, we're talking about btrfs-sxbackup-run from the btrfs-sxbackup manual fam — this is the one that actually does the thing. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

btrfs-sxbackup-run — run a backup job. that's it, that's the whole job description, and honestly? iconic. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

btrfs-sxbackup run [-h] [-m <mail_address>] [-li <log_ident>]
<subvolume> [<subvolume> ...]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Run a btrfs-sxbackup job. yes queen, go off, back up those subvolumes. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• <subvolume> — the backup job source or destination subvolume. it's giving "local path or SSH url" energy, so you can point it at something on your own machine or yeet it over SSH to another box. 🌈
• -m <mail_address>, --mail <mail_address> — turns on email notifications. 💌 if you hand it an email address, that address overrides the default email-recipient setting that lives in /etc/btrfs-sxbackup.conf. so like, the config file has a default, but if you pass this flag, this flag wins. periodt.
• -li <log_ident>, --log-ident <log_ident> — the log ident used for syslog logging. it defaults to the script name, which is lowkey the sensible choice. 🧚
