im having a problem with my ubuntu. I made a disaster today and i'd like to reset it, but without clearing it at all, just resetting by 1/2 days. How can i do that? Thanks for your time

No. Unless you explicitly set up some facility to do a periodic backup (as far as I know, one wouldn't be set automatically for you), you can't do what you're suggesting. If you set it up, then presumably you would have known.

@Ray, that's a good *answer*.

If you're thinking like the Time Machine facility for MacOS, then no, it does not exist under Linux by default. There are programs to do periodic backups and that fairly economical in terms of disk space. For example, timeshift for system files or rsnapshot for personal files. However, none of them (as far as I know) are set up automatically. You would have to set them up yourself.

If you haven't set them up manually, then what you're asking for isn't possible.

or `duplicity` (it has a nice GUI: `Déjà Dup`). See https://askubuntu.com/questions/636264/how-to-make-a-backup-with-deja-dup-from-command-line

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
