Hi
As I have for 10 years only used < MyLivecd > for backing up my installed distro, I am not sure what is good/best/recommended fot PeppermintOS
At the moment, I am looking at < Rescuezilla > which is a clone of < Clonezilla >.
However, giving me YOUR choice may be helpful to me
Note : I only want to know < the name > , not : Howto.....
Thanks

Numerous levels of backing system OS or OS with data, also system recovery, either in the system or by USB livecd. With daily and hourly settings. If a disaster occurs after one your hourly back-ups have been completed you can go back one hour or two hours to the then system settings.

After much consideration, I have decided to follow your advice and start using Timeshift.
Possibly it's better I drop old habits and change to more productive time management
Thanks

It works well, but...but...but I prefer to make an ISO which I can put on single USB or Ventoy-stick and carry with me and can install any time any place any comp
Long live < mylivecd >

Yes, you are right. I shouldn't either.
90% of them you never need.
It's just the other 10% which come in handy sometimes :-) :-)

It looks like PeppermintOS users arenot backing up there system.
Or is the system THAT good , that it doesn't fail ?

for me its quicker to reinstall than attempt to fix or rescue the system, but i have spare installs on other drives i can fire up at any time.
