I've used preinstalled Backups program as well as Timeshift. According to this https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/timeshift.html article Timeshift makes a snapshot of the whole system and allows for recovery if anything goes wrong.
It has happened to be before that my laptop failed to boot after installing latest updates. How do I use the snapshots in case of boot failure ? Is there some recovery menu I can use to restore my system from the snapshot created by Timeshift ?
