Since tine immemorial (I first touched a UNIX system circa 1984), I have used the venerable 'dump' utility to do automated full and incremental backups to an NFS-mounted network storage appliance (NAS).

Now, with a brand new laptop, with fresh install using btrfs filesystems, I find 'dump' does not work on them. (Fortunately, I was able to use the companion utility 'restore' to recover my /home backups and assorted config files from the root filesystem of my old laptop.)

So, I'm looking re-script my backups using btrfs tools. So far, it appears I cannot do btrfs snapshots to the NAS and I'm not wanting to attach another disk to the laptop just for snapshots. Are there analogous (to 'dump' and 'restore') btrfs utilities that can do backups this way, and can be scripted?
