I have a 3 step 2 server setup. the first server takes backups from everywhere by rsync onto btrfs volume except for one. This the first one where source file system is btrfs and btrbk is pulling snapshots directly from it. This machine use to be backed up by this machine in the past, but a different instance of btrbk. I get it that snapshots are not recursive. The second server simply needs to reach into middle` machine (the one taking all of the backups) and grab the snapshots from the backup-snapshots folder. entire system is not perfect because the actual btrfs source has a much longer backup chain in its snapshots folder than I'm receiving.
within that subvolume we find the following list of snapshots have been retrieved. I've verified that all of their content is correct. the list was alphabetical, I reduced the number of columns
The first stage is working (sort of) and I've gotten, and have been getting great snapshots from server.client.com.
The second part of this is where it falls down. I have it set up to simply copy the snapshots over which I could do manually in a bash script easily enough.
snapshot_create no
snapshot_preserve_min all
target send-receive /mnt/Data/Files/backup-snapshots/client/server.client.com
The target volume is empty. When I run btrbk against that configuration, I get "no action" no missing backup found.
Good one. I see a bunch of missing backups. If I were issue

for` consistency it is set up as such
The source folder is /mnt/Data/Files/backups
volume /mnt/Data/Files/backups/client subvolume server.client.com
within that subvolume we find the following list of snapshots have been retrieved. I've verified that all of their content is correct. the list was alphabetical, I reduced the number of columns

I'm reasonably sure they'd all get sent. I simply want the snapshots copied from the source to the destination.
/mnt/btrfs_pool/snapshots on the source server is full of data. The destinations are empty. nothing is being transferred
