Description
At the moment the backup possibility of BTRFS snapshots is limited to either USB drive OR remote machine. To minimize the risk of data loss, I'd like to backup it to a USB drive AND a remote machine.
Enhancement for this would be greatly appreciated!

Research direction
Start by locating the nc-snapshot-sync entry point and tracing how it currently selects either a USB drive or a remote machine. Determine how both destinations are represented and invoked, then verify that a snapshot is synchronized successfully to each destination without breaking the existing single-destination behavior.
