:D That has to be a 'classic', one of a kind expression. Congratulations. A DDG search of the internet seems to show it's never before been used. I shall have to figure out ways of dropping that expression into my casual conversations. :hattip:

I'm reading this and was finding it hard to realize no one was making the one suggestion that would completely eliminate the problem.
I have a new Bodhi 5.0 installation and as soon as I could, I installed
TimeShift. It's not in the repo ... you have to install a PPA. Put
TimeShift PPA into DDG, and it's on the first line, at the top of the search results.
I was a great fan of
Systemback, but after comparing the two, I'm very comfortable with what I see in its replacement. IMO, it would be difficult-impossible to 'muck-up' anything this utility couldn't put right. Like
Systemback, even if you crash or disable the desktop environment, you can run it, if you can get a terminal prompt. And, if you manage to completely kill the OS, you can run it from a LiveCD/DVD for an OS that includes it.
If one's 'adventures' include accidentally reformatting the drive, just keep a copy of its backup files elsewhere ... note,
TimeShift is intended for system files, but not for data backup!
I haven't tried to kill my OS to test it, but I can say it's (visibly, at least) running fine in Bodhi 5.0, under
Moksha.
