Hi folks,
i wanted to use the timeshiftplugin to backup my OS-drive for futher problems.
I attached an external SSD, which was first of all formated in EXT4.
Then i mounted the filesystem.
All was done in the ui, no cli-magic..
The i set in timeshift->preferences the "Backup destination device" to my created filesystem on my external ssd.
After that i jumped to on-demand-snapshots, i clicked on "create a snapshot on sdc1", the on the + symbol..
Code
Mounted '/dev/sdc1' at '/run/timeshift/85482/backup'
