anyone using snapper or timeshift for snapshots ?

[Bernd Lentes]

Hi ML,

I'm running 22.04.5 LTS.
I have three subvolumes formatted with BTRFS:
root at bioinformatics-mcd-01:/home/bernd# mount|grep btrfs
/dev/sda3 on / type btrfs (rw,relatime,space_cache=v2,subvolid=256,subvol=/@)
/dev/sda3 on /var/snap/firefox/common/host-hunspell type btrfs (ro,noexec,noatime,space_cache=v2,subvolid=256,subvol=/@)
/dev/sda3 on /home type btrfs (rw,relatime,space_cache=v2,subvolid=257,subvol=/@home)

I need to make some changes on the configuration and like to create snapshots before.
In case of problems I can rollback.

Does anyone use snapper or timeshift for snapshots?
What is your experience ?

Thanks.

Bernd
