Description Morgan Leijström 2020-06-20 13:10:15 CEST
Description of problem:
We are missing a snapshotting graphical interface.
We do have the command line utility snapper for btrfs, LVM 
  (and ext4 - experimental still?)

There are two to choose from
https://github.com/ricardomv/snapper-gui
https://github.com/yast/yast-snapper

User documentation easily found by searching internet.

Sorry to have left this, Morgan. Too busy, no time.

Can you nominate which of the two you prefer? We should not take on two applications in such a specialised area (which is why I refrain from suggesting a 'new pkg' bug for each one).

Both need more than packaging to reach automation, but i think any will do to add a working GUI to help fully manual tasks.  Needs to be tested though.

In that regard i think snapper-gui would suit us best.
