+Linux Mint to Maintain Timeshift Backup Tool as an XApp
+======
+Linux Mint takes over the development of ‘Timeshift’ backup/restore tool. You can now find it in its new GitHub repository.
+
+![linux mint][1]
+
+Timeshift is arguably the [best tool to back up and restore the Linux system][2].
+
+Linux Mint also utilizes the tool to let users easily take snapshots before updates, and ensure hassle-free operation.
+
+Of course, that’s not the only thing that makes [Linux Mint potentially better than Ubuntu][3].
+
+Unfortunately, the developer ([Tony George][4]) behind Timeshift can no longer maintain the project. The developer plans to focus on other projects instead.
+
+The Linux Mint team reached out to the developer to help the project in any capacity. And, they finalized to take over the development of Timeshift.
+
+So, now, the Linux Mint team will be responsible for new releases/fixes, and any development activity associated with Timeshift.
+
+### Adopting Timeshift as an XApp
+
+![][5]
+
+Linux Mint tends to maintain certain applications as an “XApp” to make sure that they work on various desktop environments and are not dependent on a particular desktop.
+
+Considering that they plan to adopt Timeshift as an XApp, you can expect the tool to continue offering the current look/functionality for a long time, irrespective of your desktop environment.
+
+Unlike some GNOME apps, which are usually turning into GNOME-only applications for the best experience.
+
+Timeshift is an essential backup/restore tool. So, Linux Mint taking over the development and maintaining it as an XApp sounds perfect!
+
+The translations for Timeshift are now done on [Launchpad][6], if you are curious.
+
+The [new GitHub repository][7] (forked by Linux Mint) can give you more details about the application and its latest development activity.
+
+You can also check out the official announcement for this in the [recent monthly blog post][8].
+
+### Wrapping Up
+
+With Linux Mint as the maintainer of Timeshift, we could hope for more feature additions and improvements in the near future.
+
