I will be reimaging a QubesOS machine. Will I be able to save the
existing VM's manually and import into the fresh Install of Qubes?
I would like to do the backup operation without needing to actually
boot up the existing OS, and then restore the backed up volumes after
an install.
No easy way I know of. Could mount the LVM qube partitions and backup
just the data you want to keep, but that wouldn't include the VM
definitions.
Anyone have a better approach? I have some large VMs on secondary
storage that have lost their qube configuration. I can recreate
definitions easily enough, but want to attach their root and private
volumes without a full, slow copy step.
Perhaps you could define the secondary storage as a Qubes storage pool,
then create empty vms in that pool. Finally, mv/lvrename/snapshot/ln
(your choice, depending on type of storage and preference) your existing
volumes as necessary.
