Timeshift not making backups

So until a few days back, timeshift used to run just fine, and I even did a full system restore after reinstalling my system( borked something). But for a couple of days, timeshift is active but doesn’t make a backup. The last backup it made was on 01/07/22. I have set it to make 2 daily and 1 monthly backup ( rsync) on a separate partition( btrfs) on my HDD.

More curiously, recently, whenever I try to reboot/ shutdown, an error message come saying Failed to unmount /home and Failed to unmount /run/media/backup/(something) [this is the partition for backups]

No, see the used %

Oops, quite right I was reading the wrong sizes. :man_facepalming:

Try version in unstable, there is a fix.

Thanks for the replies but the issue for me was that the partition for backup was nearly full and wasn’t displyed by Dolphin properly.
Again, thanks for the prompt replies
