I think you're wrong. Timeshift is well integrated with Btrfs snapshots : see. Like snapper, it makes snapshots of the root fs (and /home if you want), but it's well integrated in Ubuntu (but with some hack you can go on other distros). I don't want to denigrate your tool, so.
I'd offer up Borg Backup (back end) with Vorg (front end with scheduler) which I believe mimics everything time machine offers (except for the pretty Finder interface). It has heavy encryption and SSH/SFTP among the many different repository types you might want your backup stored in (local drive and S3 bucket I believe are other options). One of the advantages to Borg is that you don't need much knowledge in rsync to make the right choices in how things could get copied, as the primary focus on Borg is to "backup" instead of sync. It's pretty easy to configure and go, just don't forget your password.
