The answer is in the documentation: www.qubes-os.org/doc/template-implementation The *old files allow you to roll back any changes to the template. Each file is *NOT* 10GB - if you check the actual size with 'ls -ls' you'll see they are only taking a few MB on disk. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
