It's better to check with Adam for the best approach. As far as I know, there’s no backup index stored in the database, but I haven’t looked into it deeply, so I could be wrong.
That said, we’ve deleted snapshots many times before using:
find /backups -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -type d -name 'snapshot-*' -exec rm -rf {} \;
And they instantly disappeared from the backups tab for the corresponding websites with no issues.

Yeah, I understand, you upgraded a bit earlier than ideal. It would have been better to wait a week or two.

You can do this. We personally have backups of our backups, so we’ll simply keep those, wipe the snapshots on the old BTRFS backup server, and then move the role to the new ext4 server. This simplifies the process a bit.

We haven't tested the new backup system on BTRFS, but I’m pretty sure it will perform the same since Enhance is now using native rsync --link-dest, which works fine on BTRFS as well. There might be some slight slowdown if you have lots of small files changing across snapshots, but this should be a minor issue. No need to worry, you can go ahead and keep your current BTRFS setup intact.
