Hi, Michael
Btrfs send/receive can transfer incremental snapshots as well - you're
looking for the -p or parent parameter. On the other hand, it might
not be the right tool for the job.
If you're 100% happy with your old disk's *content*/layout/etc (just not

SMART indicates that my notebook disk may soon be failing (an
unreadable/uncorrectable sector), therefore I intend to exchange it. The
disk contains a single btrfs filesystem with several nested(!)
subvolumes, each with several read-only snapshots in a .snapshots
subdirectory.
As far as I

I would see one (dangerous? risky? needing more options perhaps?) solution:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
/dev/sda: old disk
/dev/sdb: new disk
Maybe there is another much more complicated solution:
Plug the old disk in a USB dock/case, do the same for the new disk in
another dock/case, plug both

What makes the case complicate is
not the question how to preserve and copy the current data; it's how to
retain the historic data embodied in snapshots.
You can always rsync (incrementally with --link-dest) to another
place the sequence of snapshots, provided of course there is enough

Well, there's both that (which I don't know
