Q Backups and buttons

I need some software like Rollback Rx, to create and restore snapshots or restoration points of the system without the need for an external drive. I’ve tried Timeshift, Duplicity, Back in Time and Systemback. Software for both Debian/ Ubuntu and Manjaro are welcome.

I also have two questions about Gnome. How do I assign the Windows button to show the Application menu (9 dot menu): when I press Windows button, I’d like to open the screen showing all installed software instead of showing activities. I’d also like to have the Delete key move selected files to the bin, because while using Ubuntu this key is unresponsive. Terminal commands or Gnome extensions are welcome.

The programs you mention are all back-up
