The backups with time shift are incremental, hence most of the time the backup is taken within seconds and it only stores changes over time, something similar to git.

I used to do it exactly for that uses case, the backup was quick because there generally are not much changes outside the home directory.

I used to have Daily backups and monthly backup like 20 different dates stored in a relatively small space.

Like if my system is 30 gb then a 50 gb backup partition would store months of daily backups.

Not answering your question but I had installed btrfs on my fedora install, thought I would use it for backups and system restores using snapshots.

But I felt there was always a performance tradeoff when doing a lot of writes like npm install and stuff.

Eventually replaced btrfs with ext4 and backup solution like timeshift.

I would say if you want system recovery then tools like timeshift make it really really simple and straightforward taking backups and restoring them.

Sometimes you just don’t need a Swiss army knife to do most basic stuff.

Even with VPN and browser it doesn’t load. WTH. Google is really censoring this hard.
