you can encrypt the volume and put snapshots on that. maybe the future of qubes-backup? till then i use a script from dom0, qvm-run backupkeeper "rm -rf QubesIncoming/*" for i in `cat backuplist`;do qvm-run $i "qvm-copy-to-vm backupkeeper .";done then rdiff-backup QubesIncoming /run/media/user/.../backups/rdiff this way, the same drive can also keep appvm snapshots. backupkeeper is just an appvm with no network access and a lot of space. the usb disks are setup with cryptsetup, ext4 and a backups folder owned by user. the first line is to get rid of old backups. qvm-copy-to-vm wont let you overwrite. its no TimeMachine, and deleting and copying entire folders is inefficient. but does the job and easy to recover on any linux system. would be nice to be able to initiate the file copy from dom0 and auto allow it. then it could run in the background. > Thanks, > Loren -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
