Description
After pouring over the docs, I am still unsure of how to apply btrbk in my case.
I have a btrfs volume with 'root', 'home', 'snapshots' subvolumes. I would like to make interval snapshots of both 'root' and 'home' subvolumes and store them in the 'snapshots' subvolume. Then, every few weeks, I would like to connect a btrfs-formatted backup disk from my safe and efficiently copy some of the snapshots. This would be followed by pruning of snapshots on that backup disk.
I thought I could set up btrbk to take snapshots without utilizing any backup `target` and then use btrbk archive on the backup disk, but from reading https://github.com/digint/btrbk/issues/90, it seems that the archive command copies snaps from `target`, not from `snapshots` location.
Any suggestions?

Research direction
Read the btrbk documentation and the linked issue #90 first, focusing on snapshot locations, targets, and the archive command. Determine whether the described workflow is supported, then document the correct configuration or clearly state the limitation and expected backup-and-pruning behavior.
