    each backup is just the difference between the original backup and the current system.

    So what if I Deleted the very first backup itself (which is manual backup), does the following backups become obsolute since the follwing backups created links from the original backup ?

      To be honest I haven’t had the need or the time to delve that deeply into how Timeshift works sorry.
