ZFS snapshots also have the added benefit of not taking up duplicate space. And, should a Linux ransomware ever come into existence, snapshots help against them.

Btrfs and apfs also support copy-on-write snapshots.

Also, snapshots are NOT backups. And one definitely should not rely on snapshots along to keep their files safe.

They aren’t; a backup should preferably be offsite, but nothing is perfect
