I backup by data that way since Q4 - the qubes-backup may be more "handy", but I prefer knowing every single detail on encryption, etc myself. You may mount a luks-container in sys-usb (for example), and then attach one-by-one your app-vm private.img to sys-usb using the qubes widget; after mounting them (ro of course) you can simply rsync your data, most conveniently to the backup volume. Your app-vm will not be exposed to usb that way.
If you have a full dd take of your qubes system (I understood you inital mail like that), be aware that the some image files are rather like "dd disk images" rather than "dd partition images", which means you cannot use the most straightforward mount on the loop device (you never mount a disc, but a partition!). Instead, have to read the offset of the partition start using fdisk or similar, and provide this offset to the mount command. A quick google reveals the details on this procedure :) Bernhard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
