    I’ve used btrfs-autosnap for a while on Arch and it’s brilliant. Whenever you install or remove something with pacman it creates a btrfs snapshot of your subvolumes and if you have grub-btrfs install too they get added to Grub menu. Very handy.

    You can define which subvolumes you want snapshotted and how many snapshots of each you want to keep. Which means it also removes the oldest snapshot when a new is created if it gets over the keep amount.
