Is there a easy-to-use full-system snapshot manager for ubuntu?

Use-case: After a complete system breakdown (e.g. rm -rf /bin) the ability to restore the previous system state.

I tried to use rsync, but didn't understand how to apply such functionality with that.
Edit: Mabye the requirement for a "snapshot" mechanism was misleading.
A good analogy for the solution I'm looking for is like a docker commit command, a stable image of my system that I could use if something goes sideways

It sounds to me like you are looking for a full-system and incremental backup solution. This question has a little different focus but I think it might be an answer to what you are looking for.

Which is Most TimeMachine-like Backup Program for Ubuntu?

And here are some other alternatives.
