All subvolumes share the space of the Btrfs volume. You may create subvolumes at will. (You may think of subvolumes as sort of "dynamic partitions" inside a Btrfs volume)

When making snapshots (or send/receive) every subvolume will be handled separately. For example when you have 2 subvolumes(@, @home), and make a snapshot of one of them(@), this snapshot will contain every bit of data of all fines in this subvolume(@), but none of the data from the other subvolume(@home). So if you make a few subvolumes, you are able to '''follow different strategies for snapshots''' of them. And you can '''restore''' each of them '''separately'''.

This is the subvolume where all '''user data''' ist stored. When you rollback your "@", this will not change at all. You may take snapshots of /home at a different rate and for different reasons. While snapshots of "@"  are good for rollback, snapshots of @homw are good for '''undeleting''' accidentally by users deleted (or overwritten) files.
