I am a basic user as you can guess :) > My practice is to back up all my AppVM's and Dom0. The reason for the appVM's is that each one has specific docs along with specific customizations. I back up Dom0 because I store some scripts there. To my knowledge, backing up Dom0 only backs up the home directory, so I'd check the contents of your home directory in dom0 to see why you have 500Gb stuff stored there.
I don't back up templates, as they are easily downloaded, and I don't back up trivial, easily creatable appVM's like my backupVM, which is essentially an empty placeholder for mounting external media. Hope this helps. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJaPpAvAAoJEOaMWwQFV9eFxrIQAJdhrgA5CfoMuVKisEQEfyuv v6c08hX9eVWo3Uz0mdXfzzGxGe5ixfxbLz4ZtGOwfKioljKJhkK7QCaBT7PCYTFG TrRdgp1lrxHcg0RTzdQLedRltMbYOlrStbGR+6YoZyhEkrIhGsG/hEEBCrdovavZ Xca2D3k8UHxJUxkGZ4SLJMjmkxGAIV+lsJnlWhPh1F0XsF/oZIJIye8n6A65HbMA 1sLeOslURUfo+nmg/mh9cFuwIMS+w7Xoy6qVxjd2SxygnqPkNHZsoiLU36kio5kf Ei9XfgYWlCNdIFBqnBWrSBeanepap3POCjv2uGcJ1AIY7KNu09SXxOdLSHOuVWvj nNKH7NmBwz7PILYBNYlf8uzipmEKGxX8IzNw0QVN5miGRi5RMbKTnxWt/3XocHiH Fw/NR5CEeCDmnsgM8AAyeTHlPh7k6W2QWSNnlA1Qx4hE12FZKJ6iJep3F+bFakE2 APBb7AAWU7+gYaeBCLsJ4g/vOxB/M32vHnM8kPDaa6WrC3g2cQpz1esJlvrXPOq0 c0KDxx66fp09K4ykuw3DvQH6yjDoPicYbnrvGI+8WzfdfvOgoeP2M3VajKM928/p MDK+Au7BO51qyCSmpeO5VZldLC8IxStWVtVEmQ41VYoyjOrrtx5OL4l8ub3QQbTg 71toB1pFBdieIUci2wvN =FIL2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
