Default Timeshift has anyone used it on Reaper build? just wondering...

I was just wondering if anyone has used 'Timeshift' on a Reaper build. I haven't used it yet (knock on wood) and was interested if anyone has any experience rolling back to previous setting through a snapshot. thanks in advance...

I tried it couple of times and it worked great. Using default settings when created first snapshot. You can also add your home directory if you want.

Great to hear. I have used it on my other pc (16.04) and works great. I did not know you could add own your home directory - much thanks and appreciation.

NOTE: If you add your homedirectory, wine is getting backed up also.

I have always a dedicated partition for my home so if I need to reinstall "just" Mint I leave home untuched.



Looks like this:

\ (root) approx 50GB
\ swap 8GB (don't know if I really need it)
\ home the rest

Precise answer excellent. As for Swap. I have read just a few things on it swapper/swap. I have heard that there is a sweet spot for the amount of swap allocated. If there is too much or too little it can hinder performance some. Don't know if its true - but I try to dial in just a tad over whats needed. Ran a rough test on my rig - and it did change the performance (nominal) on a couple bench tests. ?? again thanks Tobbe!
