    <title>System snapshots</title>

    <p>Timeshift, the system snapshot utility, is available in all versions of Linux Mint.</p>

    <p>It can be used to create snapshots manually but also to automate system snapshots.</p>

    <p>Linux Mint recommends the automation of daily and boot snapshots.</p>

    <p>If an update, a mistake, a bug or a malicious program breaks something on your computer, you can restore the operating system from any snapshot, thus cancelling the problem as if it never happened.</p>

    <note><p>System snapshots only cover the operating system itself. They do not include or affect your personal data.</p></note>
