+Butterbackup is a backup system which stores snapshots in btrfs on a central server. A web gui allows for simple restore of files.

+For now it is rather crude. To get started backing up some manual work is needed.
+As root do the following:
+<pre lang="bash"><code>
+mkdir /etc/butterbackup
+echo "--exclude /tmp --exclude /proc --exclude /sys --exclude /dev" > /etc/butterbackup/machine1.example.com
+cp /etc/butterbackup/machine1.example.com /etc/butterbackup/machine2.example.com
+ssh-copy-id root@machine1.example.com
+ssh-copy-id root@machine2.example.com
+mkdir /mnt/data2
+mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb1
+mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data2 #hardcoded for now
+</code></pre>
