Are there issues with TS? Why is it not available to use to set up Rsync or Btrfs back ups?
Thanks,
Mike
Hi @scubapro25 , how did you install timeshift?
Wow! That was fast! 
I believe it came automatically with my installation of Reborn Cinnamon (Kernel: 5.12.9-arch1-1)
Could you try installing the latest patched version using
yay -S timeshift
There was an update just yesterday. Please let me know if this doesn’t work.
Thanks for trying to help, but I installed the patch according to your suggestion and I’m afraid I’m still getting the ‘Live USB Only’ option.
@scubapro25 Could you share the outputs of these? (Run them on a terminal):
pacman -Qi timeshift
timeshift-launcher
pacman -Qi timeshift
[mike@mikey-pc ~]$ pacman -Qi timeshift

@scubapro25 As I suspected, it did not update to the latest version. Let us use a different command this time to install the latest version:
yay -Sy timeshift
This should work if it takes from AUR instead of the rebornos repository
I think I realize what is going on. The RebornOS repository might be substituting the AUR version. Let me test a few things and get back to you. The latest version on AUR is 20.11.1+4+gd437358-1 and the RebornOS repository replaces it with an older version with higher priority.
Cool. Thanks, shivanandvp
Tested this and it installs the supposed fixed version from the AUR (20.11.1+4+gd437358-1)
yay -Sy aur/timeshift
I will try to get the RebornOS repository to use the latest version too, soon.
Let me know how this goes
Thanks for all your help, shivanandvp!
@scubapro25 Is your problem solved?
Sorry for the late reply: problem solved–thanks!
