After the my mess today, where I wanted to roll back one day, I noticed that I had only one snapshot from over a week ago (when I set it up). It seems like Timeshift just doesn’t take any snapshots for me (like I intended to).
This seems very similar to this post Timeshift-autosnap not working with yay update - #7 by DromundKaas unfortunately there is no solution there.
/etc/timeshift-autosnap.conf
zsh: no such file or directory: /etc/timeshift-autosnap.conf
This here scares me… because I did go through the setup of Timeshift.
IF Timeshift is completely borked, what program do you recommend instead?
If you are going to take several snapshots daily and are not a “heavy tweaker” making changes to your system all the time, I would say you will have relatively fresh snapshots to roll back to if/when the need arises.
That’s the thing, I had already set up Timeshift, but I got no snapshot. I did that over a week ago and the only snapshot I have, is the one I made.
I did the setup through the GUI, but like the file said, everything was set to “false”.
