Does sector by sector backup support btrfs
#1
As per title. I have just changed one of my Linux partitions to CachyOS which has defaulted to btrfs. I have a backup set to backup two Linux partitions and their boot partitions and have set to backup sector by sector. Will the btrfs partition successfully restore?

The sector-by-sector backup method works for any file system and creates an exact image of the source drive, so btrfs partitions can be successfully restored.

I've never used BTRFS, but it worked with EXT4.
Tip: Running a Trim right before the backup saves a lot on the image file size for me.

- assuming it's the same for BTRFS?
Code:
sudo fstrim -v /
