Thanks chums - lots of options!  

I'll probably play with Timeshift first, simply as it is already there and I can run it from inside Linux.

I just received mt ADATA 2TB USB3 external HDD today, and the plan was to keep at least a couple of different backups/images/Timeshifts(or whatever they are called in whatever is being used), on this drive.  I have a 1TB NVMe SSD as the system drive, but the difference in price between 1TB external USB HDD's and 2TB was only about forty bucks or so, so I went for the 2TB one, with the idea that I could keep at least a couple of snapshot-y things on it.

I don't PLAN to screw anything up BADLY in Mint, but I'd be happier with the image thing-y, so I don't have to do everything all over again, as I mentioned in the first post.
