Which folders and files do I need to exclude from TimeShift?
Also is there a way to also exclude programs installed as .deb ?
I doing this to reduce Backup size as I have limited storage.
100GB - Windows 11
400GB - Storage
400GB - Mint
100GB - TimeShift
If you only want backups of your files
Actually, I want to backup my system as I’m new to Linux, there is that I will break the system. So, setting up my system from ground again due to some silly mistake I made is tiresome. Also I have separate Storage drive for personal files.
BTRFS.
I’m afraid about the compatibility of BTRFS ( not like system drive need any compatibility ). Does it have a good community support as ext4?
It’s not very friendly when it’s almost full
?
Tools like
dfand other file system monitors
What’s df though?😅 Is it like cli file manager.
The problems you mentioned regarding the remaining space left on BTRFS, they occur on GUI file managers too?
Snapshotting is a feature of BTRFS file systems. Timeshift will manage said snapshots. BTRFS file system is required.
