+## 🚀 What's New in V2.0: BTRFS Send/Receive
+
+**Major efficiency upgrade:** V2.0 replaces file-by-file copying with native
+BTRFS send/receive streaming. This is the same technology used by enterprise
+backup tools like btrbk, snapper, and btrfs2s3.
+
+### How it works
+
+**First backup (bootstrap):**
+```
+btrfs send /snapshot → zstd compression → [optional encryption] → rclone rcat → cloud
+```
+- Creates a full BTRFS stream of your root filesystem (~35-40 GiB typical)
+- Compressed with zstd (saves ~20-30% bandwidth)
+- Optionally encrypted with AES-256
+- Streamed directly to cloud via rclone (no intermediate temp files)
+
+**Every subsequent backup (incremental):**
+```
+btrfs send -p <parent> /new_snapshot → zstd → [encryption] → cloud
+```
+- Only sends **block-level differences** since the last backup
+- Typical incremental: **100 MB to 2 GB** instead of 35+ GiB
+- 10-50x less bandwidth and storage per backup
+
+**Restore:**
+```
+rclone cat cloud → [decrypt] → zstd decompress → btrfs receive → Timeshift
+```
+- Downloads snapshots in parent-chain order (oldest first)
+- Applies incrementals automatically
+- Reconstructs the exact filesystem byte-for-byte
+
+### Why BTRFS send/receive is better
+
+| Old way (v1.x) | New way (v2.0) |
+|---|---|
+| Copy every file every time | Only send changed blocks (incremental) |
+| 35+ GiB per backup | First: ~35 GiB, then ~500 MB each |
+| ~2-8 hours upload | First: ~2-8 hours, then ~5-20 minutes |
+| File-level granularity | Filesystem-level (preserves all metadata) |
+| CoW efficiency lost in tar/zip | Native BTRFS streaming |
+
+Real-world example (from research):
+- Initial backup: 17.4 GiB subvolume → 13 GiB compressed (~2 min full send)
+- Incremental after normal use: **a few seconds** to generate stream, only
+  megabytes uploaded
+
+### Requirements for BTRFS mode
+
+✅ **Root filesystem on BTRFS** (check: `df -T /` should show `btrfs`)  
+✅ **btrfs-progs installed** (auto-installed by wizard if missing)  
+✅ **zstd installed** (for compression)  
+✅ **openssl** (for encryption, optional)
+
+**If your root is NOT on BTRFS:** V2.0 automatically falls back to the v1.x
+file-copy method. You still get cloud backups, just without incremental
+efficiency. (Most Parrot OS installs since 2022 default to BTRFS.)

+## Upgrading from V1.x to V2.0
+
+**Good news:** V2.0 is backward-compatible with your existing v1.x backups. Your old
+snapshot backups remain accessible and restorable.
+
+**What changes automatically:**
+- New snapshots will use BTRFS send/receive (if your root is on BTRFS)
+- Old v1 file-tree snapshots can still be restored normally
+- Config gets a new `btrfs` section with defaults (compression: on, encryption: off)
+
+**What you need to know:**
+- **First backup after upgrade:** Will be a full BTRFS send (~35 GiB typical) since
+  there's no parent yet. This is the new "bootstrap" backup.
+- **Every backup after that:** Incremental (100 MB–2 GB typical), using the previous
+  snapshot as parent.
+- **Old v1 snapshots:** Safe to keep or prune normally. They work independently of
+  the new v2 incremental chain.
+- **If you don't use BTRFS:** V2.0 automatically falls back to v1 file-copy mode.
+  No action needed.
+
+**Optional: Enable encryption**
+```bash
+# Edit config to turn on encryption for BTRFS streams
+$EDITOR ~/.config/parrot-blackbox/config.json
+# Set: jobs.snapshots.btrfs.encryption = true
+# Set: storage.encryptionPassphrase = "your-secure-passphrase"
+```
+
+**Mixing v1 and v2 backups:**
+You can keep both! The tool tracks them separately via manifests. Restore commands
+automatically detect which version each snapshot is.
