Description

Hi, I want to transfer a snapshot to a different machine:
btrbk archive -vv /mnt/snapshots/home/home.20220301T081224+0100/ ssh://mo2/mnt/archive/moblind
But it doesn't do anything. I can't see any error.

On #btrbk@Libera we have discussed this some while ago.
Your answer was:

> Mo: btrbk archive operates on directories, not subvolumes

Why? I thought archive is used to transfer a backup (subvolume) to another location.
The reason why I like to use btrbk archive instead of btrfs send|receive is, because btrbk may find some referenced parent on the target to use.
