This option indicates that the contents of the BTRFS file system (BTRFS) snapshots are to be backed up.

Table: BACKUP_BTRFS_SNAPSHOT information

Usage	Description
Where to use	On NetBackup clients.
How to use	By default, BACKUP_BTRFS_SNAPSHOT is not present in the configuration file. When the option is not enabled, only the BTRFS subvolumes are backed up, but not the BTRFS snapshots. When the option is present and enabled (1), the contents of the BTRFS snapshots on the client are backed up. Use the following format: BACKUP_BTRFS_SNAPSHOT = 1 This entry should appear only once in the configuration file.
Example	The following format ensures that the contents of the BTRFS snapshots are backed up: BACKUP_BTRFS_SNAPSHOT = 1
Equivalent Administration Console property	No equivalent exists in the NetBackup Administration Console host properties.
Additional information	The option is applicable for only BTRFS. By default, the contents of the BTRFS snapshots are not backed up. To ignore the snapshot paths, the `libbtrfsutil` package (version 4.17 onwards) must be present on the client computer. If the `libbtrfsutil` package is not present on the client computer, the read-only snapshot or subvolume backup is ignored.
