Also do make sure you include your hidden files in the timeshift backup esp if you use t'bird or browser with local portable config eg Firefox ESR
I admit I am perplexed that Timsehift tells me my system drive is not a Linux-formatted device, though. EDIT: just figured out that it does show the system drive as LINUX, but only until you click on the other drive - after that, the system drive returns the error message. I think this is a bug in timeshift.
Also, what is the difference between "Include hidden" and "Include all"? Wouldn't both of those mean the hidden files are included? Right now, it is set for root being Include All and my home dir as Include Hidden.
