Description: Btrfs simple snapshots
        ======================
        
        Take snapshots of your btrfs subvolumes and apply a retention policy in order
        to keep your snapshot directory somewhat clean and small.
        
        The retention policy, defined bellow, is hardcoded for now but it should be enought for the
        average use case. I may adjust it, or provide a way to change it at runtime if needed.
        
        * Hourly snapshots are kept for 24 hours
        * Daily snapshots are kept for 4 weeks
        * Weekly snapshots are kept for 12 weeks
        * Monthly snapshots are kept for a year
        * yearly snapshots are kept for 10 years
        
        Every subvolume that should be snapshoted must be given as argument to the
        script. For example if you want to snapshot every home directory created as
        subvolumes and your `/etc` and `/srv` directory you would do
        
        .. code-block::
        
          btrfs-simple-snapshots /home/* /etc /srv
        
        
        Once done, you will find a new subvolume named `.snapshots` inside the
        snapshoted subvolume with a name formated as `%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S`
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        Install from pip using `pip install btrfs-simple-snapshots`. Then you can run
        it as root or with a user able to manage btrfs subvolumes. It is probably a
        good thing to run it automatically with a cron job. Depending on you need you
        may run it once per day (at 2 a.m.) to snapshot every home folder (created as
        subvolumes) with this kind of job definition.
        
        .. code-block::
        
          0 2 * * * python -m btrfs_simple_snapshots /home/*
