Fault Tolerance
Hello all and thank you for the assistance in advance!
As humans, we tend to stick with what we are familiar with.
As a Windows user jumping ship to Linux, I have AOMEI as a backup/restore system that allows me to restore on the same drive if something corrupts, I make a mistake, what have you. Likewise, I even have the ability to restore my image to a new drive.
I saw Timeshit as an easy way to manage btrfs snapshots and sub volumes, along with Clonezilla (Clonezilla lists btrfs as supported on their website) to do entire system backups (from a Windows perspective this includes all folders on the drive, including Downloads, Users, Etc)
I know Bazzite uses btrfs and to use btrfs features without any tools require all CLI commands, which is very cumbersome and unintuitive to execute.
I also saw that Bazzite doesn’t support Timeshift or snapper.
Here are my actual questions:
1. Other than rolling back and using Pika Backup for home directory, is it possible to use Clonezilla to make system backups if I need to move it to a new drive?
2. How would I go about booting from a snapshot, like you can using Timeshift? It seems the GUI with Timeshift is very intuitive and user friendly.
