Yeah, but Timeshift uses the Ubuntu style subvolume naming, @ for root, @home for /home, so you have to create them that way, otherwise, it won't work. It can work if you tell it to ignore home, but checks for @ as root on start up.

Wasn't aware of that, using snapper for my snapshotting needs.

I haven't tried it. Does it have like daily, weekly, monthly snapshots setup?

[-] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago

You can have hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. I also use snap-pac to make snapshots before and after pacman transactions.

Check out https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Snapper

Check out Btrfs Assistant. It does what Timeshift does with a similar UI but works with any subvolume layout.
