    In Antix or MXLinux you have iso-snapshot. In Ubuntu you can try https://sourceforge.net/projects/systemback/ For any other distro try https://github.com/cleverwise/cya maybe it is not what you are looking for exactly, but being a "simple" bash script it works perfectly to generate snapshots and system rollbacks

  • iso-snapshot

    iso-snapshot https://github.com/antiX-Linux/iso-snapshot is only available in antiX and MXLinux, although these two distros are based on Debian.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • rpi-clone
