Yes, paranoid backup mode has been introduced only to "surgically restore" only non-critical parts of a backup (i.e. dom0 home, pci devices, menu entries - see man for more info). It can be useful in cases of a suspected compromised backup.
So there is no difference between a backup to upgrade dom0 and a backup to switch to 4.0; just do a full backup. If you customize templates, like I do, you'll probably have a hard time restoring to a newer major release because of updated qubes tools, especially so if you have a sys-net / sys-firewall that are based on the customized templates: once restored in the newer major release, if the machines don't boot, there's a lot of work to do to have Internet again to update the tools ;) -- Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
