1. Timeshift (For desktops)
end excerpt.
Does anyone have experience with Timeshift? I have just configured a
Linux laptop for a (retired) colleague who still is an academic journal
editor. The colleague is an end-user with no real understanding of
computers or computation much beyond how to use particular end-user GUI
applications -- the computer is a tool, but is not interested in how the
tool actually "works".
Assuming that she obtains a, say 1 Tbyte, external USB drive (powered
from the USB port and either mechanical or SSD), she plans to do
incremental backups to the backup drive.
What (if any) applications would anyone recommend? The end-user IS not
a systems person and does not write "real" programs (but does have
"formulae" in a spreadsheet applications).
Thanks for any insight.
