    Get up, back up. Indeed, behold a review of Timeshift, a system backup and restore software with Rsync and BTRFS backends, covering setup and overview, basic and advanced backup settings, scheduling, filters, thorough testing, other features and limitations, and more. Have fun.

    Have you tried to restore a system after backing it up with Timeshift? I ask this because while I had not issues to backup, then I have got in trouble with restoring. Basically Timeshift was stuck somewhere in the restore process (I cannot recall right now where exactly) which then failed.

    I did - with a test set - didn't have a problem. But it wasn't a prod set.
