 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.
-    Create /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@machine1.example.com
-    # mkdir /mnt/data2
-    # mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb1
-    # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data2  #hardcoded for now
