Timeshift for Linux is a handy application that functions similarly to Windows System Restore and Mac’s Time Machine. It takes regular snapshots of your file system and allows you to easily restore your system to a previous state if needed. In RSYNC mode, it efficiently saves disk space by sharing common files between snapshots. BTRFS mode provides byte-for-byte copies of your system. Timeshift is designed to protect system files, not user data, unlike some other applications. It runs hourly to ensure backups are not missed. You can even restore snapshots across different Linux distributions. Overall, it’s a versatile tool for system protection with minimal setup required.
