timeshift is now updated in AUR to version 20.11.1-1. To install it you need to temporary downgrade xapp to version 1.8.10. After installing timeshift xapp can be upgraded to current version again.
Looks like they might have fixed this already. I successfully installed with
xapp-2.0.0-1
I was able to backup my drive successfully as well. Lets see if I get any errors.

So don't give misguided "support" here please. Manjaro is not Arch; this is a perfect example of why we don't support Manjaro. You sent OP on a wild goose chase looking for something that only exists in Manjaro.

By the way, Timeshift 20.11.1 shows up in Pamac (from "official repositories"), but not when I search for the package at www.archlinux.org/packages.
Nope to ye, timeshift is not in community, it's on aur on that version only.
Or you have an additional repo, or you are not using ArchLinux... either way, I don't rely on pamac, I have no way of knowing what wizardry you are doing.

]]>I did a pair of scripts to manage btrfs snapshots, and together with a instance systemd timer/service I’d say it does the trick at the simple featureless way possible.
And mixed with an alpm hook, I have the full pack for just what I needed.

In any case, out of date is more a reminder for the maintainer, it will get updated with time.
