Yeah, but Timeshift uses the Ubuntu style subvolume naming, @ for root, @home for /home, so you have to create them that way, otherwise, it won't work. It can work if you tell it to ignore home, but checks for @ as root on start up.
Check out Btrfs Assistant. It does what Timeshift does with a similar UI but works with any subvolume layout.
Hm, will check it out, thanks for the suggestion 😉.
Wasn't aware of that, using snapper for my snapshotting needs.
I haven't tried it. Does it have like daily, weekly, monthly snapshots setup?
You can have hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. I also use snap-pac to make snapshots before and after pacman transactions.
