<strong>Summary</strong>
Timeshift for Linux is an application that provides functionality similar to the <em>System Restore</em> feature in Windows and the <em>Time Machine</em> tool in Mac OS. Timeshift protects your system by taking incremental snapshots of the file system at regular intervals. These snapshots can be restored at a later date to undo all changes to the system.
Timeshift is designed to protect system files and settings;<strong> it is NOT a backup tool and is not meant to protect user data - </strong>the entire contents of users' home directories are <strong>excluded by default</strong>.
