Did not work well. It restored all files, but didn't do so in a good way. An unknown number of files got corrupted (but btrfs-restore went thru anyway). For example a VirtualBox image got destroyed and my Hamster time tracking database. And probably some more. > At the end, all your files should be found at the directory "/backup".

I think, I got cured from btrfs… As of now, not ready for daily use, unless you are a real hacker. It does have nice features, but an ugly userland (in comparison to ZFS) and is unstable with real danger of data loss. Maybe in a few years.
