New refugee from Windows / Need advices about image system backup, excel, vscode

I do use rsync when backing up remote computers, locally I use dump/restore. I prefer it because of the ability to get a directory listing from the backup, pick and choose files or restore the entire file system as necessary.
This process sounds very flexible. Got a link about how to set this up?

Regarding Timeshift on btrfs, is the idea that Timeshift makes it easier to backup to a different disk versus using Snapper?
I'm also on btrfs and miss the wonders of Macrium Reflect. For now, in addition to Snapper, I've been using Clonezilla to make a disk image on occassion. I'm in the process of figuring out something like Vorta to replace that process.
I don't think there's any effective difference between timeshift and snapper. They're both essentially just GUIs for features supported by the underlying btrfs filesystem.

I do something similar but my live USB is just bootable Clonezilla. I'd like to hear more about why you use a live Ubuntu ssd.
I started with a Clonezilla USB a few years ago, but Ubuntu is more flexible and can be used for everything. The GUI is easier for some tasks, and Nautilus, Disk Usage Analyzer, Gparted, and other utilities are all available on the same SSD used for backups.

And who is requiring you to use windows? Previously it was just societal expectations but apparently it's not that anymore. Who is cracking the whip to force you to use windows?
Previously it was just societal expectations but apparently it's not that anymore.
