Timeshift: The Must-Have Live Saver For Linux 

This thing saved me from a few horrible mistakes. Unlucky updates, bad experiments, i once killed grub accidentally. This thing saved me on all occasions. It takes a lot of space but it works way better than windows restore point alternative.

I use timeshift on arch, btw.

Timeshift is a lifesaver. It's like System Restore for Windows. I always make a snapshot before I do anything critical, like installing a new desktop or upgrading graphics drivers. You can even use it if you can't boot to your desktop. Just boot your computer from a Live Install USB/DVD and run Timeshift (it comes pre-installed on Linux Mint). You'll be able to choose snapshots off your hard drive and restore it.

thank you for the clarification about making a backup of my personal files, i'll use another tool for that!!

You need to add more detail on doing system restores with a damaged or crashed disk, using a live USB system. Better to do a worked example going through all the settings of a restore.

Makes experimentation wit the system a lot less risky, thanks for advice.

I found a Timeshift issue and a solution. If you use Timeshift and install a virtual machine, Timeshift will attempt to back up your lib folder even with all exclusions selected and it will either fail to create the snapshot or it will take a very long time. You have to create a custom exclusion for the libvert or image folder. If you dont do this you may be adding 100gb to your snapshot size. This was the first time Timeshift stopped working for me. This only applies if your using the default location for your virtual machine image

Lifesaver maybe?

I would love to see you return to the CodeWars series

I looked at Timeshift once, right up until I read that snapshots couldn't be recorded over the network, even when using Rsync. Didn't waste my time reading why, just carried on using good old rsync and cron. Problem solved. None of this crap GUI app with restrictions.

how do I save from a linux live usb, so that it saves the disk that is in my pc? THANKS I don't see this in the interface_

I don't care about downloads, photos, documents etc bit I do want to snapshot my system with the custom theming/layout that I did on it. In this case would I back up home "include hidden files" or "all"?

Timeshift failed to solve my problem, I ended up doing a fresh install after wasting my time using Timeshift. Keep a backup of the data, if the system corrupts linux is easy to reinstall with the latest distribution and is safer then going back to an old version with Timeshift.

i use clonezilla for backups. If the drive fails i still have a clone of the system on another device

Very useful, thanks.

Like the vid. a like and a comment from me. also you look like Luke Evans

"Remote and network devices are not supported" Boo that is rubbish.

Me irreversibly screwing up my system trying to fix a minor bug in an application I'm using

its a good video

I do not understand the logic there as the only files that have value is the personal files, the system can be reinstalled easily, so making a backup of the system files is not very useful

"live saver" is a meaningless duo of words. You can tell someone to live safer, or something can be a life saver.

What is your video worth for if you don't even link the tool in the desc. of the video?

First view❤
