One reason why btrbk exists is that I wanted to have all my backups configured in a config file. I use btrbk to backup several hosts to several backup locations (around 20 subvolumes), which made setting everything up with command-line options very cumbersome. For simpler setups you might be better off with command-line based tools (e.g. Marcs "btrfs-subvolume-backup", which I like for it's smallness). Give it a try, there is a "dryrun" command in btrbk :) Ask on github if you need help. - Axel
