Description

Hi

I need to have confirmation that my configuration is correct.
I have 2 configs files with the same backup folder.

**backup1.conf**
```
...
snapshot_dir .snapshots1
volume /media/storage
subvolume images
```

**backup2.conf**
```
...
snapshot_dir .snapshots2
volume /media/storage
subvolume images
```

If one day I lost /media/storage/images + .snapshots1 + .snapshots2
- I suppose I need to restore .snapshot1 from backup 1 + .snapshot2 from backup2 (with send-receive)
- Next I need to restore /media/storage/images from the last created snapshot (found in .snapshot2 by example)

Will that work fine ? Every ids/relations will be conserved ?

I don't use archive command for my case.

Research direction

Review the two example configurations, backup1.conf and backup2.conf, focusing on snapshot_dir, volume, and subvolume. Determine whether restoring both snapshot directories and the latest /media/storage/images snapshot preserves the expected relationships, then document the confirmed behavior and any required restoration order.
