I am using TimeShift on my Kubuntu PC with BTRFS snapshots and I have to say that it's the most wonderfully easy and practical backup tool I've ever used. I recommend it to anyone using any distro, especially if you're using one that's less stable like rolling release, or bleeding edge ones. The cost of storage is minimal to a point you can make snapshots everyday and there are other tools you can install to update your Grub to allow you to boot into any snapshots and recover your filesystem in case of problems. But beware! TimeShift was implemented with Ubuntu's way of configuring BTRFS volumes in mind.

I was testing out Debian in a VM and trying to set up Timeshift to see if I can make snapshots and Timeshift didn’t work because of how Debian sets up volumes with BTRFS.

Since Timeshift uses Ubuntu’s way of setting up volumes and nothing else. Check this video to find out how to install Debian (or any other distro) on BTRFS so it works with Timeshift.
