CLI snapshot /home/ directory

[jfrofl]

I couldn't find a way to call out including the /home/ directory like you can in the GUI in CLI. I'm hoping to be able to revert several class laptops through ssh back to known start position (removing browser history/loaded browser certs/removing downloads/etc).

Ideally being able to include an option to restore the /home/ directories as part of the cli commands would be great. Or if there is another way of doing what I'm trying to do, that'd also be great.

Further elaboration here. I have a snapshot that will restore as expected with the UI. The snapshot has /home/ directories included, so that when I restore from snapshot in the user interface the files that were created during that students session are removed.
The files are not removed when I restore from snapshot through the command line based on some brief testing.

If your root and home are in a same partition, it automatically do that.
Otherwise, you can use --snapshot-device to specify the device you want to back up.
You can also edit the config to change the default behavior.
The target to back up of timeshift is device, not directory.

supplement: comment out the path in exclude element in config.
