Bug Description

When using child subvolumes (e.g. /var/lib/docker/btrfs, /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/storage-pools/default), restoring a snapshot involves moving these child subvolumes manually.

I suggest to add a command "btrfs subvolume restore SRC DST" with an option "--include-children" with the following behavior:
1. In case DST already exists, it could be moved to DST.bak
2. btrfs subvolume snapshot SRC DST
3. For all children of DST.bak, move to SRC
