What is the preferable partitioning scheme for RELIABLE snapshots of / as well as /home?

Preferable is doing only snapshots of /root (subvolume @). /home should not have snapshots. Better use for example borg and vorta is a good GUI for that: Compression and de-duplication included. Just create new subvolume for user files.

Think of timeshift like creating a system recovery point on Windows. Obviously it should only include system files and not user files.
