Summary : System restore tool for Linux
URL : https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift
License : GPLv3+ or LGPLv3+
Description : Timeshift for Linux is an application that provides functionality similar to
: the System Restore feature in Windows and the Time Machine tool in Mac OS.
: Timeshift protects your system by taking incremental snapshots of the file
: system at regular intervals. These snapshots can be restored at a later date
: to undo all changes to the system.
:
: In RSYNC mode, snapshots are taken using rsync and hard-links. Common files
: are shared between snapshots which saves disk space. Each snapshot is a full
: system backup that can be browsed with a file manager.
:
: In BTRFS mode, snapshots are taken using the in-built features of the BTRFS
: filesystem. BTRFS snapshots are supported only on BTRFS systems having an
: Ubuntu-type subvolume layout (with @ and @home subvolumes).
