All you need to do is select what you want to be included or not (can include everything) and click start then go have dinner / lunch etc.

Also when backing up, you may simply copy or archive (compress) the home folder.. Will keep all your customizations simply and quickly.. can save it anywhere..

snapshot is a lovely comfort blanket...especially if you are me

in fact, it was seeing dolphin oracle talking about it on big daddy linux that brought me to mx in the first place
