Describe the bug

When I tried to do backup, utility tries to save backup to /boot device and fails.

Fedora uses EXT4 for /boot and btrfs for root(/). Therefore Timeshift is not compatible with default Fedora Installs.

But even if you fix this and manage to create a backup in external drive, restore is going to fail because of btrfs root.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Launch Timeshift utility
  2. Enter 3

Expected behavior

Successful backup (or a warning for Fedora users?)

Additional context

I created a ackup to external disk from GUI. It gives Unsupported Subvolume layout message as I mentioned in the description.
