Can someone clarify exactly what all does Qubes Backup save and restore? To me this is important because I am fairly sure my Qubes installation has been compromised, if not at dom0, then certainly for some VMs, including sys-net (which includes sys-usb). Most probable reason is Evil Maid Attack as I found one screw on my laptop missing, which was earlier there. I know this attack could be accomplished even without opening the laptop up, but someone might have tampered with the laptop and may also have used the USB.
In such a case, if I backup and restore to a new installation, will the VMs still be compromised because they will be restored completely, or will they be fresh in the sense that only my data will be restored, along with a few basics like the specification of VM? Will it be preferable to use something like rsync for taking separate backups of the data on VMs? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
