Timeshift

#1 Post by Rob-H »

Trying to set up timeshift for the first time on 11, but the wizard doesn't list any locations to use to save to. Can find any solutions online and hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Any location you choose has to be a linux filesystem like ext4.

Go into Settings and then choose the tab for location. I like to place my Timeshift backups on a separate partition, usually on the same drive as the operating system.

I had no problems saving a backup to my current drive that Bullseye is on as well a another drive on this machine. my only sorrow is that timeshift does NOT allow over the network saves like to my Synology NAS that has rsync and NFS turned on . I gave up looking for opensource solutions and bought CloudBerry it's 30.00 and it's NOT perfect , but does allow me to backup to the Synology . they calim a bunch of cloud vendors, but I could NOT get it to save to Gdrive at Google , so it's useless to me there.
