I'll check this: But I can not find any setup that would work with this.

If its run daily, the lost files could be quite few... Even though it still maybe problematic.
If the backup was done by the OS (like Linux kernel) all the new files would be backup immediately during creation.

I would suspect this also (but it was done in "local shop" here). So I try again with "ARCTIC MX-4" once it arrives, and results are as below: THERMAL_PASTE2.png It looks better than with the thermal paste from the "local shop", but still not as good as even the origina...

If any problem, but it should backup all the files in the home directory.

It looks this is possibly fixed when using kernel 5.8.x instead of kernel 5.4.x..

Yes. If it becomes available... When? Thermal paste was changed, then it still appears throttling: Feb 17 17:22:48 ENVY-17 kernel: [ 389.173478] mce: CPU3: Package temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 382) Feb 17 17:22:48 ENVY-17 kernel: [ 389.173478] mce: CPU7: Package t...

I would not find out though if the expressVPN would allow wireguard to connect to their VPN servers.
It is nearly impossible to connect to VPN servers with other manufacturer VPN client software.

I think the backup is included the whole home directory including all the files inside.

This later 5.8.x kernel may have helped to remove the boot-time messages for CPU throttling. This might have effect also during normal operation of the laptop. I may inspect during following week how it affect and are messages now completely disappeared. But if this is just some kernel message that ...

This looks like got fixed by the time: Great...

It is possible the setting is wrong: 0 * * * * root timeshift --check --scripted -> It should be 'create' not 'check' 0 3 * * * root timeshift --create --tags D --scripted But this looks complicated (why is it made as this?) Nothing of course is impossible, but becomes little hard this way, which wa...

This must be checked. I think the issue was there already all the time since purchase of the laptop.
Maybe this HP-ENVY does not have enough of cooling included (even as new).

Maybe the message is clear to someone, but I could not find how to fix it.

So the help is really helpless.

I can check the cron-file: "/etc/cron.d/timeshift-hourly", but there is no setting in the menus (the "settings"-tab in the timeshift) for it. CRON1.png If you inspect this "timeshift-hourly", it literally is set for every hour, but this has not been observed to occur ev...

That doesn't look constructive if you don't know about it and neither does this text here what I just read. I hope to stick in this issue and not expand to the "crowd & carneval". Maybe next Mint 20.2 will be named "Linux Mint 20.2 Carneval"? Well that case congratulations. M...

ok. But problem is because the USB gets 'jammed' when transferring files to the USB-pendrive that is set as the backup location.
Thus if I can not use the 'jammed' USB wireless mouse&kbd at 14:00-14:xx is inconvenient for me.

Anyway, question is how to set the backup time.
If you have no idea, please don't comment.

How to set the backup time for the timeshift? I could not find the setting for the time. It seems 14:00 by default.
How to change the time (for example to 4AM)?

The graphics is missing at the right side of the window red rectangle area. This would not cause any problem, but looks like some type of error in graphics area definition.
