I'm looking for a tool to make snapshots of the system with an ext4 system disk.

Assuming this is an option for you, convert your ext4 partition to btrfs (can be done without data loss) and enjoy having proper snapshot support. Timeshift makes it really easy to automate and manage btrfs snapshots.
