About Timeshift

Timeshift protects Linux systems with incremental snapshots of the filesystem (rsync or BTRFS), letting you roll back after bad updates or crashes — Windows System Restore, done better.

Timeshift is completely free and open source (GPL-3.0) — no trials, no subscriptions, no locked features. Always download from the official website to avoid bundled malware.
