Ahh yeah, now i got you… i just recently was talking about the Layouts on the KDE Store which deleted all home mounted drives:
Lucky i always create my backup drives in addition to external HDD’s, that only connected when i really need them or to refresh my backup again.
My main focus was to evade lightning strikes or overvoltage… so your backup is history. I got recently the wake up call from the Plasma6 KDE Global Theme Story, i wasn’t aware about this dangerous commands that exists around Linux.
Long story short, this has nothing exactly to do with Timeshift per se… just a global problem how easy can your files can be lost, if you not create external backup, that should be seperated from your system’s, if you want to rely on the backup.
