This guide installs Timeshift and prepares snapshot scheduling.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y timeshift
sudo timeshift --check
Timeshift will detect available snapshot mode and storage target.
sudo timeshift --create --comments "Initial baseline" --tags O
sudo timeshift --list
Use CLI options or GUI (timeshift-gtk) to set snapshot levels and retention counts.
Timeshift is primarily for system rollback. Pair it with tools such as Restic or Rclone for user-data backups.
