Hello Qubists
I currently use Qubes R4 RC2, and would like to upgrade to RC3 after a backup.
But I experience problems with the qvm-restore-backup --verify-only command.
Should I worry about the quality of my backup ?
Here is my workflow:
1) backup on a USB external drive:
[jl@dom0 bin]$ qvm-backup --compress --encrypt --passphrase-file
/home/jl/bin/savequbes.passphrase /run/media/jl/qubes_backup \
debian-9 \
fedora-25 \
fedora-25-dvm \
mail \
media \
trusted \
vault \
dom0 \
sys-net \
sys-firewall
------------------+--------------+--------------+
VM | type | size |
------------------+--------------+--------------+
media | VM | 419.8 MiB |
dom0 | User home | 10.5 MiB |
fedora-25 | Template VM | 4.9 GiB |
sys-net | VM | 100.4 MiB | <-- The VM is running, backup
will contain its state from before its start!
sys-firewall | VM | 100.4 MiB | <-- The VM is running, backup
will contain its state from before its start!
mail | VM | 580.4 MiB |
vault | VM | 2.7 GiB |
fedora-25-dvm | VM | 156.3 MiB |
trusted | VM | 122.1 MiB |
debian-9 | Template VM | 6.2 GiB |
------------------+--------------+--------------+
Total size: | 15.3 GiB |
------------------+--------------+--------------+
VMs not selected for backup:
- anon-whonix
- debian-8
- sys-whonix
- whonix-gw
- whonix-ws
- whonix-ws-dvm

3) I managed to check manually the validity of the backup with this article:
