How should I make system snapshots in OpenSuse Leap 16?

I’ve been reading you should use Snapper. I looked before I updated from 15.6 to 16, but didn’t seem to have it installed even then, though I did have something that looked like it in YaST.

Now in 16, I also can’t find Snapper and I don’t seem to have the general interface of YaST anymore either. Just some separate tools, but not the snapshot one.

Is Snapper something you can download? I previously installed Timeshift because I went to OpenSuse 15.6 from Mint. I didn’t know there was already something installed that could do this, and as Timeshift is what’s used in Mint, I just downloaded that. Can I just use Timeshift?
