The primary reason for XBian using the btrfs filesystem is its automated system for taking snapshots both whenever major system changes are made (such as upgrading the system) and on a scheduled basis. XBian automatically takes a snapshot when apt-get upgrade is run (either from xbian-config or from the console) and takes daily, weekly and monthly snapshots as well. | The primary reason for XBian using the btrfs filesystem is its automated system for taking snapshots both whenever major system changes are made (such as upgrading the system) and on a scheduled basis.
