Options:
  -h, --help                    Print this usage message.
  -k, --keep=NUM                Keep up to NUM most recent snapshots with this label, deleting all older ones (no snapshots will be deleted by default)
  -l, --label=LAB               LAB is usually 'hourly', 'daily', or 'monthly', default: '$DEFAULT_LABEL'
  -p, --prefix=PRE              PRE is '$DEFAULT_PREFIX' by default
  -n, --dry-run                 Print actions without actually executing them
  -w, --writable                Create writable snapshots, instead of read-only
  -d, --snapshot-directory=DIR  DIR is a directory to create snapshots in, default: $DEFAULT_SNAPS_DIR
  -s, --skip-create             Don't create a new snapshot (only useful with --keep to clean existing snapshots)

Positional arguments:
  subvolume           Path(s) to a mounted subvolume directory (like: '/.btrfs/@')

Details:
  A backup snapshot of each specified subvolume will be created in: <DIR>/<subvolume name>/<PRE>_<LAB>_<datetime>.
  The <subvolume name> will be obtained automatically, from the given subvolume paths.
  The <datetime> will contain the output from 'date +%F-%H%M' command.
