Hi!
I used what Jerry told you (TimeShift and Backup). It's a waste of time. For 15 GB of data you will waste 60 GB of storage and it goes endlessly unless you delete backups. And it takes 4 to 10 times more than CloneZilla, even worse.
Use a /home partition instead of a /home directory. Than you can install/reinstall without losing the configuration data of any App you installed or for the DE.
Use CloneZilla to backup both the Root partition (usually /dev/sda1) AND the /home partition. It is fast and the backup is compressed so it takes less than 50% of the backed up data.
Good luck!
