Description

Boot partition backups can be created automatically around systemd upgrades and mkinitcpio-triggered changes. Administrators install this hook to preserve recovery copies before boot-critical package work.

Boot backups write extra copies of sensitive system files. Confirm storage space and backup location before relying on them.
