BTRFS volumes must have an Ubuntu-type layout with **@** and **@home** subvolumes. Other layouts are not supported. Systems having the **@** subvolume and having **/home** on a non-BTRFS partition are also supported.
`Text file busy / btrfs returned an error: 256 / Failed to create snapshot` can occur if you have a Linux swapfile mounted within the **@** or **@home** subvolumes which prevents snapshot from succeeding. Relocate the swapfile out of **@** or **@home*, for example into it's own subvolume like **@swap**.

* Reduce the number of snapshots that are kept - In the _Schedule_ tab set the number of snapshots to 5 or less.
* You can also disable scheduled snapshots completely and create snapshots manually when required

* Only those systems are supported which use GRUB2 bootloader. Trying to create and restore snapshots on a system using older versions of GRUB will result in a non-bootable system.

* EFI systems are fully supported. Ensure that the ***/boot/efi*** partition is mapped while restoring a snapshot. It will be mapped automatically if detected.
* If you are restoring from Live CD/USB, and your installed system uses EFI mode, then you must boot from Live CD/USB in EFI mode.
