Michael, I am currently using rsync INSTEAD of btrfs backup tools. I
really don't see anyway that it could be compatible with the backup
features of btrfs. As I noted in my post, it is definitely not a

this regard is n-

Could you explain how you're using rsync? I was just about t

Actually, an interesting concept would be to have the initial two drive
RAID 1 mirrored by 2 additional drives in 4-way configuration on a

Similar yes but not all options are the same between them. e.g. zfs send -R
replicates all descendent file systems. I don't think zfs requires volumes,
filesys
