Btrfs support

[The Seeker]

Does the latest version of IFL support backups/restores of the Btrfs filesystem? I have three partitions on a Fedora 33 install: FAT32 for the EFI partition, ext4 for /boot, and Btrfs for / (default install choices).

only in raw sector-by-sector mode.

Will this always be the case? Or is full Btrfs support planned?

[The Seeker]

I suppose in the meantime I'll use Clonezilla.

So I've been using Clonezilla but boy is it awful compared to IfL. I ask again, is full Btrfs support on the roadmap?

[TeraByte Support]

is there a spec for it? I'm not sure of very many that use it.

Not entirely sure what you are asking. Were it an outlier filesystem I wouldn't ask about potential support, but it's now the default when installing Fedora, one of the most popular distros.

openSUSE 15.2 is also using BTRFS by default.

My distros use the filesystem that *I* decide. EXT 4 used exclusively by all Linuxes here.

How is this relevant to future Btrfs support in IFL?
