Timeshift does the snapshots.
That’s also why I have scaled down the paccache to only one backup version of packages since I take 4 or 5 snapshots per day.
Using Timeshift to make snapshots in Btrfs-mode, it will store the snapshots on the system partition.
If one wants to store them on a non-system partition/drive or an external drive, it only works in rsync-mode. Or you had something else on you mind with using Timeshift “for another way”?
I just don’t really know enough about the setup to understand it inside and out. I’m just using the setup from the wiki. I have installed it also from the live ISO install but never did anymore than that. Just tried it out to see that it works and installs.
I did an install on virtual box of xfce using btrfs as the default file system then i installed timeshift. I set up timeshift to save 5 snap shots per day. Is this all you have to do to have snapshots. Or do i need to install cron or something and set it up?
No, I guess you are all set up. IIRC cronie gets installed “by default” as a dependency. I just do “on demand” snapshots. Perhaps you would need to check if the cronie.service is enabled and running:systemctl status cronie.service
If you want to have the option to boot into one of your snapshots from the Grub boot menu you need grub-btrfs as well.
Okay …thanks i’ll check it. Doesn’t seem as complicated this way.
@pebcak
The cronie service is running. I installed grub-btrfs. Just checking it out as i haven’t done it before only used the wiki version setup.
Edit: I see the snapshots in grub menu now.
If you have already some snapshots on your system, after installing grub-btrfs, do a grub-mkconfig and you should be able to see in the output that it detects the snapshots. When you reboot they should be available as boot options in the Grub boot menu.
Edit: I missed your edit while typing 
Yes…did that and i see them. Excellent!
Everytime when I ask someone about btrfs, they said dont use it , it is still wip etc…What is main view of EndOs and developers ?
Honestly?
Two major distributions now use it as default: Suse and Fedora.
99% of problems with it was years ago, tho it has a bad rep among certain “Knowitalls” online.
It is as stable as ext4 as long as you don’t use specific raid configurations, which home users rarely use anyway.
Yeah, but there is not so many guides , what to do , what not to do etc.
Lots of people tell you what is good for you or not. You have to make that decision based on knowledge and facts and needs. Not necessarily because of what someone else thinks or tells you… What they tell you is only information. Sometimes it’s not fact but maybe their interpretation. The source of the knowledge matters. There are a lot of knowledgeable people here. 
I listen to a lot of people here …because like everyone. I only know what i know and i know what i don’t know. Lots! 
Edit: I learn something new every day. Sometimes many times in a day. It makes me forget what i thought i knew before.
