Description
For example LXD backups when there is many existing snapshots in many different directories.
Would "archive" mode work somehow? or when selecting which subvolumes to back up I should use "*" symbol?
**I know that this may not be real issue**, but there is no forum and this would help people who want just to make simple backup of something like LXD.
I shortened list of my LXD subvolumes.
`ID 285 gen 858878 top level 284 path storage-pools/default
ID 286 gen 858878 top level 285 path storage-pools/default/containers

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing howto examples covering subvolume selection and archive mode. Reproduce the documented behavior against the shortened LXD subvolume layout, then clarify whether wildcard selection or archive mode supports it. Done means the howto contains a concrete multi-directory, multi-subvolume example with the required configuration guidance.
