Description

Creates automatic pre- and post-transaction Btrfs snapshots around pacman operations through Snapper hooks. It helps users recover from problematic package upgrades by keeping filesystem states near each update.

Snapshots are not a substitute for backups and can consume significant disk space. Configure retention, test rollback procedures, and make sure the system uses a compatible Btrfs layout.
