[Solved] Timeshift Error

#1 Post by roastnetwork215 »

Hello, I am trying to use timeshift for backuping my data. But the timeshift shows error like this:

Code: Select all

E: The system partition has an unsupported subvolume layout. Only ubuntu-type layouts with @ and @home subvolumes are currently supported.
I am currently using Btfrs as the / partition and XFS as /home partition. Last sentence shows ubuntu-type layouts with @ (/) and @home (/) are currently supported, and that's weird since / and /home are separated partition and following the ubuntu-type layouts

I suggest getting to know btrfs - One of the better place for docs (for any distro) is here

Be aware, Timeshift is maintained by Linux Mint, an Ubuntu derivative. It's unlikely general btrfs support will be added unless some other dev team contributes the code. You can still do btrfs snapshots, just not with Timeshift.
