Kai: Yeah, your point was neutral and I did never understand it otherwise. Thank you for your answer! I already had idea of creating a subvolume called DATA in my home directory, however I find that pretty annoying, as most applications will open home by default. In fact I would find it more elegant to generally backup without making changes to my file system structure in home. I know that there other possibilities to do what I want, but I am asking whether the initially described method would work reliably, given that the user makes not a fundamental mistake himself. I know it may sound stubborn but I am really interested if my method works just as reliable as the other suggested methods. As I am not having the level required to check the code myself, I am asking here, in the hope someone knowing the code could state if it should work or not. Thank you all for your help!
