And I think that is just why you didn´t found any. I want to buy a new backup harddisk sometime in the future, and ideally transfer the contents of the current one with all subvolumes and snapshots, but I think except for some old backups that I have only there and I do not have the sources anymore, I will just start from scratch and let it collect its own snapshots. That said, I think it can be scripted. But I am not aware of anyone having done this. I may be missing something, so maybe someone on the list has a recommendation.
