Wiz, thanks for those videos. They are a great boost to get started on backing up Linux so data doesn't get lost or your OS can be restored to an operable state. Home backups are next on my list. After everything is safe I'll run those updates sitting patiently in my systray. Thanks again! jerry

Wiz, That went smoothly. It is working right now. When it is finished, we'll know what was done. Timeshift renamed the drive /sdb1. Timeshift still called it dev/sdc2. With luck, it won't make a difference. The light on the external drive is working steadily. Timeshift finished with the...

Gparted now shows /Dev/sdc2

Rebooted, plugged in external drive, opened Gparted, it searched for drives and external drive light blinked while it was searching. Still no /dev/sdc partition. Sorry.

i ran: apt-cache policy btrfs-tools output said: installed: 4.15.1-1build1 my prompt now says: jerry@jerry-Aspire-5733Z Nothing has changed, but will open Gparted just the same.

Wiz, Don't seem to have a dev/sdc. Partitions in Gparted are: dev/sda1, dev/sda2, dev/sda3, which are ntfs. And dev/sda4, which is extended, and dev/sda5 which is ext4. Lastly, unallocated, which is 1.02 MIB. External drive is plugged in. Gparted was reopened a couple times and...

Gparted is listed after 'installed'. Version Table: p.30.0-3ubuntu2 500

Clicking Computer, and safely remove, error says external drive cant be stopped. Clicking mount, it says it cant be mounted, though I had just made a couple screenies of it and the light is on. The ext. drive doesnt show in the tree at left. Also, the the computer view shows a name for the...

Wiz, yes 'Disks' says NTFS. Great, the rest of the data won't need moving. jerry

Quote on the right-hand side of the line with /dev/sdc2 on the Toshiba, the text is truncated (cut off) - Linux Mint T something - is that Linux Mint Tricia or Linux Mint Timeshift? Wiz, it says timeshift. Will we be able to reformat just the 200GB partition? There is a lot of data on the other...

Wiz, As to those instructions, see my first post in this thread. See the second screenie with the red shield with the X. That may be it. I'll look some more. I have been recently into linuxmint.com instructions. jerry

I'll see if I can find those instructions again.

Hello Wiz, Timeshift is in my home folder under subfolder File System. In it are many folders and files, but no Snapshots. I searched for .timeshift and Timeshift. As you can see in the attached Screenie: Home Folder/File...

Wiz, Enjoy yourself and take care. jjconstr

Hi Again, A new snapshot worked fine with the Location changed to Linux partition in Toshiba external SSD. The 'Type' of snapshot was rsync, but under 'Location', it was identified as btrfs. Is that a problem and if so, how is it corrected? Am I using too many screenshots? Do I now trust the...

Hello All, Timeshift says it made a Snapshot yesterday, the 27th. My external 1T SSD, Linux partition ( one with no root subvolume (@) has nothing in it. I manually made another snapshot today, successfully. Still nothing in SSD. Here are screenshots of My Timeshift settings. If you see any...

Hello all, Mint looks ok to me, though seems best to use it as little as possible until we have a snapshot. Upon installing, a 4 GB swap partition was recommended, but no selection appeared to me. I selected recommended btrfs snapshot volume, but Timeshift asks for rsync. Timeshift said...

That's exactly what I want to avoid! Much appreciated!
