I've used Deja Dup in the past, but currently am using Timeshift for OS snapshots and Back-In-Time for user files.

Hi,

Not sure how long you have been using Linux , Linux Lite.
But if you think back, Would you have used Timeshift/BackInTime then.??
or have you progressed into them, now being more comfortable with Linux.??
It's trying to figure out what would be best for New Users.

Dave,

I've been using Linux for many years (can't remember exactly when I started), and Solaris even before that  .

I settled into this specific pair of applications due to the complementary functionality they provide, easy user interface, performance, reliability, etc.

I use Back-In-Time to backup my home directory (I do exclude a whole bunch of files like Trash, temp dirs, etc.) and media (pictures, music, video) and Timeshift to backup the root filesystem (/).  This allows me to control recovery of the OS independently of my data, as well as separate the storage in case I want to move/copy the backup.
