To do an incremental +send, use '-p '. + +If you want to allow btrfs to clone from any additional local snapshots, +use '-c ' (multiple times where applicable). + +You must not specify clone sources unless you guarantee that these snapshots +are exactly in the same state on both sides, the sender and the receiver. + +It is allowed to omit the '-p ' option when '-c ' options +are given, in which case *btrfs send* will determine a suitable parent among the +clone sources itself. + +`Options` + +-v:: +Enable verbose debug output. Each occurrence of this option increases the +verbose level more. +-e:: +If sending multiple subvols at once, use the new format and omit the between the subvols. +-p :: +Send an incremental stream from to . +-c :: +Use this snapshot as a clone source for an incremental send (multiple allowed). +-f :: +Output is normally written to stdout. To write to a file, use this option. +An alternative would be to use pipes. +--no-data:: +Send in NO_FILE_DATA mode. The output stream does not contain any file +data and thus cannot be used to transfer changes. This mode is faster and +useful to show the differences in metadata. + +EXIT STATUS +----------- +*btrfs send* returns a zero exit status if it succeeds. Non zero is +returned in case of failure. + +AVAILABILITY +------------ +*btrfs* is part of btrfs-progs. +Please refer to the btrfs wiki http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org for +further details. + +SEE ALSO +-------- +`mkfs.btrfs`(8), +`btrfs-receive`(8) -- cgit v1.2.3
