System restore tool for Linux. Creates filesystem snapshots using rsync+hardlinks, or BTRFS snapshots. Supports scheduled snapshots, multiple backup levels, and exclude filters. Snapshots can be restored while system is running or from Live CD/USB.
Describe the solution you'd like
Timeshift is a fantastic tool that helped me get into BTRFS snapshots easily. But BTRFS has its own problems. ZFS on the other hand is a bit more mature. I would like to see a ZFS mode that is as good and simple as the BTRFS mode.
Another mode that could be very useful is a LVM mode, to manage LVM snapshots.
Don't get me wrong, the current implementation of timeshift gets the job done. But a few new modes could expand the use cases for this application.
