I'm looking for advice on reliable backup solutions for my BTRFS file system. After a recent hardware failure that resulted in significant data loss, I want to make sure I back up my entire system regularly. Can anyone recommend programs or tools that work well for backing up data to a secondary drive on a BTRFS setup?

Yeah, if you're thinking about partition imaging, that’s similar to RAID 1, right? It's good to clarify what exactly you're looking for—just backing up files or a complete system image.
Have you thought about using 'btrbk'? I found it while researching backups. It’s lightweight and optimized for BTRFS, plus it can leverage snapshots to help manage your backups more efficiently.
Just a heads up, when you're considering backups, think about whether you need a file backup or if you're looking to do full partition/disk imaging. That distinction could affect what program you choose.
You might want to check out 'rsync.' It's a solid option for backups. If you're looking for something with a graphical interface, you can try 'syncBackup.' It's available on Flathub and could make the process easier for you.
