Today I went to backup my machine using Qubes backup GUI and near the end (?) the progress bar was at 100% but the Finish button was not clickable. I waited maybe half an hour, an hour, and tried closing the window. I got an error message saying the window was not responding and asking if I wanted to force close. I said No. Now (maybe 15 minutes later) the window is completely blank.
I have previously been left without a bootable Qubes machine because I cancelled a Qubes restore. I am worried I am about to be in the same state. Is there anywhere I can check to see if there are big stray files left behind in dom0 and not cleaned up? Can I check if I’m about to have lvm issues? Also, this is not the first time Qubes Backup has behaved oddly. I also commonly get it stuck at 99% for hours so I give up and force close. Other times, it proceeds pretty quickly to 100% and I get the Finish button clickable. The backup is only about 90GB (uncompressed, but compressed it is somewhere closer to 50GB) and is coming off a speedy internal drive to a decent USB3 external disk. No idea why I am having these issues. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
