Should I use timeshift to create ubuntu backups similar to windows restore points?

Question

ubuntu

Actually, I thought about this possibility. Since sometimes it happens, some kind of update arrives, you install it, then something doesn’t work, you suffer with it and think why it was necessary. Or you experiment, and you think whether everything will fall down. It would be nice to be able to roll back the system. I started to google this thing, it seems that timeshift solves this problem. So, is he really doing this, or is there more harm than good? Maybe there is something better? And further. In my laptop, ssd is in a regular place, and instead of a DVD drive, there is a transitional pocket and there is an old hdd in it. Ubuntu is on the ssd, and home. But in homa, in fact, there is almost nothing. So, can this timeshift take snapshots of the system on ssd and write them to hdd in your pocket?
PS From time to time (about once a month or two) I make clone backups, but having such an option as described above does not hurt either. There you can do it more often and set it up so that it automatically backs up, as far as I understand.

Answer 1

Can. An excellent utility, I used it for a long time while sitting on ubuntu
