Hi there!

I can't find any Information for my Problem. And I try to explain, what
I want.

There is a btrfs-partition on my laptop.
I take snapshots every hour from the subvolume @debian.

btrfs subvol snapshot @debian @debian-snap1

Then I transfer this snapshot to my external HD

btrfs send @debian-snap1 | btrfs receive /backupmountpoint

The next snapshot

btrfs subvol snapshot @debian @debian-snap2

Transfer is

btrfs send -p @debian-snap1 @debian-snap2|btrfs receive /backupmountpoint

No magic here, works fine.

BUT

When i boot from f.e. @debian-snap2, the mechanics doesn't work any longer.

btrfs subvol snapshot @debian-snap2 @debian-snap3

this works.

btrfs send -p @debian-snap2 debian-snap3 | btrfs receive /backupmountpoint

gives me an error, that btrfs can't find a subvol with a proper ID.

Ho to do this, if i want to boot from a former snapshot (in case of a
mistaken system-upgrade) and i want to transfer the later snapshots to
the external HD - only the differences?

There is nothing on the internet on this problem (I've found). But i
think this is a usecase, which I'm not alone needing it...
