Scanner not recognized with brother

Cool if it works. I'm not a specialist, you are just lucky that i also have a Brother printer and scanner.

Sorry, but i dont know anything about mac. Is Timemachine a scanning soft ? Sane is not very good looking and not so easy to use at first sight.But it simply does the job :wink:

May be someone here knows another scan soft easier to use ?

@SGS Ich denke, es ist besser für uns beide, wenn ich auf Englisch schreibe, anstatt auf Deutsch :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The equivalent on Garuda Linux are the Btrfs snapshots which are taken before and after package maintenance by default. You can boot into a snapshot from the Grub menu.

[Thank you for your reply

I'm just starting, sorry for these questions.. so we have a snapshot of the system that we are restoring...
does it take up space? we can not have an incremental backup?

Snapshots (not a proper backup as long as they reside on the same device and filesystem as the original) initially require very little time and space because they leverage the "copy on write" feature of btrfs.
Basically, when a snapshot is taken, nothing is actually copied, so to speak it takes note that "from here on, do not overwrite, but duplicate changed files". As the number of changed files increases over time, snapshots begin to actually take space on the filesystem.

One of the main use cases is being able to quickly restore the system to a previous working point, assuming the filesystem is healthy. If there is data corruption in the filesystem, or worse, physical damage to the disk, its snapshots will likely be gone too.

They can also be used for incremental backups though, storing them on a different device:
Incremental Backup - btrfs Wiki

Of course, any other (non btrfs specific) backup tool can be used, rsync or borg/vorta for example.

It's worth noting that snapper is configured to not include the @home subvolume in the automatic snapshots, otherwise restoring one would also revert/delete personal files changed/created in the meantime, which would likely be undesirable. Of course, home can be snapshotted too, either manually or configuring another snapper profile for it, it's just better to keep it separate from system snapshots.
