Description
Describe the bug
I've (luks encrypted) btrfs /
+ separate /boot
(ext4 & efi
).
Due to that /boot
dir is not inclueded in backups, this means restoring backup will cause also /boot
to be skipped.
Let's say I was on Mint 22 (Ubuntu 24) and tried to restore Mint 21 (Ubuntu 22), the system won't be usable due to mismatch in modules
on restored system and in linux image (which was unchanged).
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- On linux that consist of separate
/boot
partition & root btrfs - create a btrfs backup
- upgrade linux image, purge previous one
- restore timeshift btrfs backup
Expected behavior
/boot
folder to be included/copied to btrfs backup (or other place so it could be restored.
After restore root, timeshift should also restore /boot
backup.
Maybe a good idea would be to allow creating "custom script"/hooks to be executed after each backup and another one after each restore (that would allow to copy over the /boot
dir) - and might be also usefull for different scenarios.
