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). |
