Description

Manages filesystem snapshots for Btrfs and LVM so users can compare, create, clean up, and roll back system states. It is useful for update safety, configuration experiments, and recovery workflows.

Snapshots can protect against some mistakes, but they are not full backups. Plan retention, disk space, and rollback steps carefully before changing important systems.
