Timeshift setup: how to backup system with programs and all theirs configs, but without Video, Music etc?
Solution 1:
If you open timeshift Then click settings and go to the filters tab, you can exclude the music and video folders. The include hidden option backs up your hidden direct (the folders that begin with .) and unless you keep your videos and music in hidden files, you should be fine. If you turn on the include root option, it backs up the /root directory, so if you wanted to back those up, then sure, knock yourself out.
Restoring to existing system just overwrites your current system with the backup. Restoring to an empty partition does exactly what it says.
