What is Timeshift?
Timeshift is a system backup tool like Time Machine in Mac OS.
To put it crudely, It allows you to make snapshots of the system along with its configuration and settings. It’s a nifty tool if you ever happen to break your system.
Some Core features-
- Having the ability to take automatic snapshots.
- Manual snapshot option.
- Hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, snapshot feature.
- Support for BTRFS file systems.
But on Fedora-based systems it’s not as easy as just installing and setting it up, you have to configure a few things here and there while installing the OS itself. This article talks about how to set up timeshift in fedora-based systems.
