+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
