timeshift: Restore a specific snapshot.

timeshift

$ sudo timeshift --restore --snapshot '${snapshot}'

try on your machine

This command is a combination of two separate commands, "sudo timeshift --restore" and "--snapshot '${snapshot}'".

"sudo timeshift --restore" is used to restore a previous system snapshot created by Timeshift, a backup and restore utility in Linux-based systems. The "sudo" command is used to execute the subsequent command with administrative privileges. "timeshift" is the name of the utility, and "--restore" is an option that indicates the intention to restore a previously saved snapshot.
"--snapshot '${snapshot}'" is another option provided to the "timeshift" command. Here, ${snapshot} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the name or identifier of the specific snapshot that you want to restore. By providing the snapshot's name or identifier, you are instructing Timeshift to restore that particular backup.

Overall, when this command is executed, it invokes the Timeshift utility with administrative privileges to initiate the restoration process using the specified snapshot.
