I didn't realize KDE can look that beautiful <3

Does somebody else's lack of success really please you? Who is to say that operating a forklift or waiting tables can't be a fulfilling job for those people? Why should it please you for people that were popular in high school to find themselves with less career success? If you were to say they were horrible people then maybe I'd understand it, but this just comes off as a lack of self-satisfaction such that you feel you must inflate yourself by deflating others. Not cool.

Zoomer here! Written articles are amazing for fast information, and I go to them when I want a solution to something I already have a decent understanding of. Videos are especially nice for something you haven't done before and want a real-time breakdown of the information.

Exactly the information I needed, thank you for this :)

That makes more sense- kinda like nondestructive editing when working with audio/video. The snapshot is more or less a list of instructions to revert a system back to a previous state, not an actual copy of everything.

Thank you- this is exactly the direction I was needing

That makes more sense to me now. If I did want to backup system files and settings on another drive, what tool could I use?

[–] Cornflake@pawb.social 4 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how Timeshift works. If Timeshift isn't a backup tool then what does it do? I thought that I could use my primary SSD and save snapshots to a secondary SSD using Timeshift. Everything is formatted to BTRFS by the way, it's not like the primary drive is in ext4 or something like that.

Can I configure it to do what I want it to do or do I need some other sort of tool for that?

 

Hey there, folks! Currently playing around with a laptop that's got three SSDs. Running Arch but that isn't quite related. I have everything configured on one SSD, the other two are totally fresh. What do I need to do to setup one of those fresh SSDs for Timeshift backups? Please walk me through it from the very start- I think I understand some parts but I'm not too certain.

I can format the drives using mkfs.btrfs without any issues, but I'm confused about how I can add subvolumes and configure their root permissions properly to allow Timeshift snapshots.

EDIT: I see now that I misunderstood what Timeshift does. New question- which tool can I use to make a backup of my entire filesystem onto another drive such that it can be restored?

Oh that's totally sick, I bet that would be hella useful if I had another computer I wanted to set up and have everything I've got on my main machine

I'm gonna be so real, that's a lot of words that I didn't understand but that's okay- I suppose I'm probably not the target audience for for the software 😂

Best of luck to you and your project!
