I'm pretty sure I understand this. The install and snapshots take up 26.05 GB of space on a 1 TB hard drive.

I used to have pet rats. I have a picture of my giant Siamese spooning with my shoulder rat.

But then rats can't see very well...
She used to mess with the dog.

It's like the D:/ drive in Windows... Right? The back up files if you have to do a system restore in Windows.
OP
I'll reproduce that Timeshift screenshot the Member provided and we'll take a little more scrutiny of it.
Timeshift does not compress the data snapshotted, it is 1:1.
The Linux Mint install by itself will have used about 7 GiB, 8 at most.
The first snapshot another 7-8 GiB, but subsequent snapshots less (I'll explain), otherwise 42 - 48 GiB would have been consumed, but inxi tells us only 26.05 GiB.
Back momentarily.

BTW Since the last update this morning, I'm have a lot less problems with graphics blinking out, as long as I don't have to many windows open. But I don't have the live over internet protocol running in a pop-out window.

Now I understand why people use an entire HDD just for snapshots.

10:30 your time?

Just type in your lower pane (reply pane), no need to press Reply from my post, I already know what I posted.

Had to step away for a minute. My masters were hungry. That's probably the real reason Tori was laying on my mouse
About the time... 10:38 pm

Didn't read ALL of your last post! sorry
OP
The Member has her Settings - Schedule set to Daily, and the Timeshift snapshot is taken at 11PM. It has a D beside it.
On Tuesday, after the Linux Mint 21.2 had been upgraded to 21.3, she took a manual snapshot at 10:03 PM (O for On Demand). Timeshift's AI had the sense to accept this as a Daily snapshot as well (hence the D), and so did not take another at 11.

I thought you were telling me how to bring up the clock on my PC when I saw "Just type in..."

I didn't intend to set up a daily snapshot. I was going to do it manually after every update.
OP
Yesterday at 6:55 PM, after performing updates on the newly christened 21.3 (wouldn't have been very many since 21.3 is very new), the Member took a fresh snapshot, On Demand.
The 4th snapshot occurred about 4 hours later, automatically. So the window of time is likely an hour prior for the AI to kick in.

Taking snapshots with every update isn't something I would forgot. Unless you advise my other wise, I turned off the schedule
