Timeshift - but doesn't work to clean boot due to a broken OS.
"For clean install, disaster recovery, use Clonezilla to create an image of your system drive/partition after configuration of Timeshift. Use Timeshift and store your Timeshift backups on a different disk. If you crash your OS drive, restore from Clonezilla image and use Timeshift to bring OS back to latest working version."
