That's only to backup/rollback the root though, right? If one's looking to backup - say - their home dir, they can just recreate the home as a subvolume without reinstalling the system. Or am I mistaken?

You can definitely do this with a few commands.

Because I often forget to do it I wrote a little helper script.

This file can be run or sourced and only depends on btrfs-progs and fish.

Yes, you can just set it to mount a, let's say @home, subvolume to /home and that's that, done.
