You have been looking for a portable solution.
Use one USB stick as container and boot with another USB stick Mint.

Then install Mint to the container stick but only use part of it and leave space for the backup partition.(the stick is used and formatted like a SSD)
Use your PC and do the snapshot to the container partition.
Now you could boot with the container the destination computer and restore.

A second way is to boot with a live session with your installer stick, plug in the container stick and launch Timeshift
