I tried using Time Shift but it didn't restore the older version of the
system files that I selected. Are there any apps that work better for restoring?

Maybe that would work as an approach ?

The op was looking for an alternative to Time Shift. I gave up on Time
Shift a long time ago, currently I use an external cloning docking
device, where I place my primary (working drive) and copy/clone to a
target (second drive). Has not failed me yet.

Backup and restore, generally works best when the target
partition is not being used. And that's for a partition
where files are busy and will not release.

Any time a tool gives you a problem, think back to the
general principles that apply. If a tool is "refusing",
then look at an alternate way to run it where it won't
refuse.

If you planning on using usb to copy your home folder to an external

Timeshift is not trash but you have to understand how to employ it. At times it can be difficult to use because your backup partition
or drive may not be mounted when you use external drives.

Use whatever tool you want to use but read its documentation before you try to use it.

OK, make it dull and boring if you wish.

Here's your link.

https://www.makeuseof.com/use-timeshift-backup-and-restore-linux-snapshots/

"2. Restore a Snapshot

You can restore a snapshot in two situations: when your system
is working and when you can't boot into your system.

https://static1.makeuseofimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/restoring-snapshot-in-timeshift-1.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=1500&dpr=1.5

In case you aren't able to boot into your system, you can try
booting into it using a live USB stick and then use Timeshift
to restore it to its previous working state and fix any broken
or misconfigured system component, setting, or file.
"

See, that's not a recipe. You still have to know to do:

sudo apt install timeshift

when instructed to on the Live USB.

It now automatically mounts and unmounts the filesystem with the
backups. ;)

Perfect "bare metal" solution. Otherwise, use rsync or suchlike.

I've got Acronis v20 loaded in Windows and I use that. I can read the files, extract a few or a folder. It doesn't
like linked files though. I will do a whole partition.

I'm using btrfs and timeshift. Btrfs snapshots are created in an instant
and using time shift to restore a previous snapshot takes all of 2
seconds. Reboot and your system is restored to it's previous state. I use
time shift for both @ and @home, and maintain 3 hourly snapshots. I
recently locked the root accounbt on my mechine, thru stupidity on my
part. much to my surprise, not only was the root account disable, but suso
no longer worked, so I could not fixed my error. I open Timeshift,
clicked on the previous hourly snapshot, clicked on restore @ only not
@home. Reboot and my system was back with root account enabled. Took all
of 20 seconds to reboot. After that I disabled the root password but not
the root account. Sudo works just fine.

That is the whole reason for Timeshift, it is not a backup system. If
your drive goes south, the snapshots go with it. Timeshift was created
for just the purpose of rectifying my STUPID mistake.

I make weekly backups using Clonzilla, have been for over 10 yrs.
Clonezilla has never failed doing a restore in that time. I backup my
system once a week, like clockwork. Keep a clonezilla image on a external
usb sata ssd and a copy on my Mega account, in case my house burns down
or computer gets stolen.

btrfs snapshot takes all of 1 sec to create, same time to restore 1 sec.
This possible because btrfs is a COW system. You reboot and your system
is restored. I create a hourly snapshot of both my root @ and home @home.
Time shift allows to to restore both @ and @home or just @. Again btrfs snapshots do not replace a good backup system. The snapshots are stored
on the drive they are created on. If the drive dies so do the snapshots.

It is a great and safe way to restore your system if you do something
STUPID like I did.

In Timeshift if you do not want your @home subvolume to be included in
your snapshot, simple uncheck the box. Then only your @ root subvolume
will be included in the snapshot. I only keep three hourly snapshots on
my system.

As a followup...since Im using btrfs and it is being actively developed
still, I always run the latest Linux Kernel to make sure I have the
latest btrfs improvements. I've been using the Xanmod Kernel for over 5
years and I'm quite happy with both the performance and stability of the kernel. I'm currently running Xanmod Linux Kernel 5.19.9 and I have no
issues. Btrfs seems very solid now,

I'm not sure what you mean by "patch". I'm notified by LMDE update
manager when a new version of the Xanmod Kernel is available. I let it do
the update and reboot into the newest Xanmod Kernel.

The Xanmod website has instructions on adding the Xanmod repo, and then installing the Keren. I personnaly stay with the Stable one. Your mileage
ma vary.

Ah I see. No I do not use the patch method. I have the repo enabled and
just download and install the new patched kernel when it is available.

i just installed xanmod and it does seem to be a *bit* faster sometimes,
but i could be imagining it. i haven't used it long enough to make a
real comparison.

the repo indicates there's a newer version available.

Is the patch for Xanmod for comparing differences between versions?
Or do you install it to make Xanmod run better?

Yep...I just updated to 5.19.11

I'm interested in your thoughts after you have used it for a couple of
months.

other than being *maybe* faster i don't know what to expect.
