Introduction<\/h2>\n

It is always important to keep a backup of your system for bad days. The simplest way to keep backup is to copy your full disk to a different disk of the same size. But it consumes time, doesn\u2019t it? This guide will walk you through how to make use of Timeshift and create a one-click backup of necessary directories and folders of your system just like someone will do on Windows and Mac. I am using Debian 10 Buster Edition. The instructions are specific for Debian only as it is not recommended to install Timeshift from Ubuntu PPAs.<\/p>\n
