I find that I habitually open a terminal and run an update on every boot of my system (which gets rebooted once a day). I’m curious what other people do.

      What form do your backups take? For my desktop, I run Pika Backup every hour on my home directory.

          I’ll check ouy pika.

          Timeshift and Pika are similar — both are deduplicating backup solutions; Timeshift uses Rsync, and Pika uses Borg.

          […] and also do weekly clonezilla images.

          I currently don’t have any system in place to create system images. It’s defintiely something I should look into, though. It would be nice to have a full restore point.

          How many images do you keep at a time? Just one? Images can take up a huge amount of space, so I would imagine that having mulitple saved at a time is rather expensive.

          I looked into Timeshift a bit more to double check my statement, and it looks like timeshift does have a snapshot option that uses BTRFS.
