The only slight niggle is that the options available for Scheduled Snapshots (daily, weekly etc.) all apply at 12:00 midnight. Probably like many other people, I switch the PC off overnight, so these options are no good to me.
It's easy to get round it by switching off Scheduled Snapshots in settings and setting up a cron job for a more convenient time using the command 'timeshift --backup-now', but it is a complication that may put off new users.
Hi bobw,
I just gave a "Thanks" you just answered a question on the time backup's and using a cron job..
