2) When restoring VMs from Qubes 3.2 the software does not seem to work
if you select more than one VM to restore at a time. By this I mean the
restore process launches and finishes and I do have a VM listed on Qubes
manager with the name of the VM I tried to restore however it reports
"disk size 0 MiB" - when I power on the VM and check /home it is empty.
If I restore the VMs one by one this does not happen and the VMs are
restored normally - this is obviously annoying (e.g. while writing this
email I had around 8 prompts for access)
Just a note here as I've been trying to fix the many problems with
restore -- it seems that backup was carefully constructed to work, but
restore was more thrown together from a patchwork of old and new code.
I just posted a fix for restoring dom0 specifically, which was still
broken when RC4 was released. If you don't exclude the dom0 home then
you'll almost certainly encounter errors; I expect the fix will get to
qubes*testing sometime in the next week or two. Also, restore is
currently best used in the CLI (its qvm-backup-restore) as the GUI still
has issues of its own.
I also decided to try a fresh RC4 install tonight and then restore an
R3.2 archive (minus dom0 home) to see how that goes. Maybe I'll be able
to recreate your issue...
It appears my test restore of the 3.2 archive went fine. I selected 4
vms (did not have enough space to restore all) of small-medium size and
all of their data was restored intact, so I cannot reproduce your
problem. However I did use qvm-backup-restore in the dom0 CLI, not the GUI.
