Description of problem: No beginner friendly tools for restoring the system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Mageia 7.1 2. Try to check if draksnapshot works 3. It doesnt work. Issue : There is no working and beginner friendly tool for restoring the system. People are getting more comfortable with timeshift. Hence providing timeshift as default will be very helpful to new users who have some knowledge about linux.
This looks like a request for a new package; we do not currently have timeshift. If this is the case, can you please make that clear, and provide a brief description of what it does, and a URL for the project. I will modify the bug. Also, are you asking that it be included on the installation ISOs? Space is at a premium there. TIA

Timeshift is system snapshot and restore tool. Project url : https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift Infos on its usage : https://www.linuxtechi.com/timeshift-backup-restore-ubuntu-linux/ Reason to have it default or at least in add/remove is because draksnapshot doesnt work.
