## Example to replicate a BTRFS subvolume with an active sending side
The sending side "pushes" the BTRFS snapshot to the receiving side. The sender needs password-less SSH access to the receiver.
First, start the receiving side:
```shell
sudo btrfs-receive-chunks-passive \
/target-snapshot-path/20230213T1809_u/
```
Then, start the sending side:
```shell
sudo btrfs-send-chunks-active \
/source-snapshot-path/20230213T1809_u/ \
ssh-hostname-of-receiving-side \
/target-snapshot-path/20230213T1809_u/
```
