What software are you guys using to back up your Linux Mint install images (and please don't recommend Timeshift - I prefer something more geared to the neophyte

Thanks, guys!

For complete system backups, I use Clonezilla Live.FenderGuy wrote: What software are you guys using to back up your Linux Mint install images (and please don't recommend Timeshift - I prefer something more geared to the neophyte).
To be frank, Timeshift is one of the easiest programs to use---much easier than Clonezilla.

Because the title of thread asks "...for System Backups" which Timeshift does. Plus, FenderGuy was looking for something geared to the neophyte and Timeshift is one of the easiest programs to use.
Actually, you can do that with a Clonezilla archive, but it's admittedly a cumbersome process.JerryF wrote: ... using a file manager, you can browse those snapshot directories and restore a single file or directory. I don't think Clonezilla can to that.
It's actually easier than it first appears. It's the text-based UI and number of available options that makes it appear daunting. That said, I would agree that perhaps there are better "neophyte-oriented" solutions.JerryF wrote: Not knocking Clonezilla, but for a neophyte, it's not the easiest to use.
Yes, these old text based UI reminds me of the disk utilities from the old days (Ghost, PQMagic etc.) that can run off a CD. Simple and to the point, no eye candy.JoeFootball wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2019 2:59 pmIt's actually easier than it first appears.

One of these days, I have to put together a Clonezilla tutorial.

This is what I do also. Helps to have very detailed notes, including copy-and-paste text for all Terminal commands.
omg--almost exactly how I do things.
