What is Time Machine for Linux?
Use Time Machine to automatically back up your personal data, music, photos and documents. Having a backup allows you to recover files that you later delete or can't access.
Connect an external storage device to your PC, such as a USB, HD or SSD.
Ideally, your backup disk should have at least twice the storage capacity of every disk or volume you're backing up. If your backup disk doesn't have enough storage space to contain a complete backup, Time Machine will let you know.
Make a backup
Back up automatically. After you select your storage device in Time Machine, Time Machine automatically begins making periodic backups.
Back up manually. To start a backup manually, without waiting for the next automatic backup, choose Back Up Now from the Time Machine menu systemtrayicon.svg in the menu bar.
Check backup status. Use the Time Machine menu git-systemtrayicon.png in the menu bar to check the status of a backup. For example, when a backup is not underway, the menu shows the date and time of the latest backup.
