How to include /root and /home/user in timeshift snapshots
What I tried is to add "exclude" : [ "+ /home/user1/**", "+ /root/**", "+ /home/user2/**", ], to /etc/timeshift.json as per this post but the files within those folders still aren't included in the backup.

Are you sure you need a full on virtual machine, rather than a system snapshotting tool like Snapper or Timeshift?

I've been using Linux for a week , and i'm starting to like it
I would highly advise installing timeshift for making backups. There have been times where I thought I was doing something benign and I basically screwed something up major. Using timeshift you can easily revert back and it saves you from so much pain
- Cloned my Drive to a larger Driver But can't use the Space
- rsnapshot-like rotation backup tool to integrate in my scripts

Properly backing up a running Linux system
Can't say much about your tar command, but if you did not checked it out already, take a look at Timeshift for system snapshots and rollback of changes. afaik you can just restore a snapshot on a blank drive. as far i see you can backup and restore EFI / boot as well. but never used it myself so can't say much about it.

What are you doing for your backups?
I use backintime to back up files in my home directory, and use Timeshift for backing up system settings (really useful if you're messing around with your grub and fuck something up, speaking from experience).

Some discoveries from investigating the SteamOS recovery image
For casual users, not really any benefit to using btrfs unless you want to use this https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift (and even then you don't need it, it just helps)
- Windows 11 and its forced "telemetry" made me switch to Linux. And I have to say - it's great. So why the hell isn't more people switching? And what's your fav distro?
