Dear Maintainer, User cant make BTRFS snapshots without "@" subvolume (debian uses "@rootfs"), but user can make RSYNC snapshot. The problem is that when you try to restore that snapshot, you have alert about wrong BTRFS subvolumes, but RSYNC doesnt need BTRFS subvolumes. Steps to reproduce : * Install Debian on BTRFS * Create a RSYNC (not BTRFS) snapshot * Try to restore that snapshot Upstream doesnt have that problem, but I decided to report it because it can greatly damage the system due to the illusion of security. The user creates a snapshot thinking that this will save him from serious system errors and ultimately will not be able to recover. Thank you for your attention,
Note: By "upstream doesnt have that problem" i meant that Debian Testing and Debian Sid timeshift doesnt have that problem.
this bug being marked as "grave" prevents installation of timeshift packages on some debian systems. please lower the severity of this bug report. I am not even sure what causes apt-listbugs to block this The following NEW packages will be installed: btrfs-progs libgee-0.8-2 libgnomekbd-common libgnomekbd8 libxapp1 pi-apps-9c59d247 timeshift xapps-common 0 upgraded, 8 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
