Procedure to restore from Wyng backup to a new install of Qubes.
These are the steps I followed.
1. Install Qubes 4.0.3 from ISO image.
2. In a disposable qube, download Chris' public key and git
verify-commit the wyng repo.
3. Copy wyng to Dom0 using qvm-run --pass-io and cat
4. Create a "backup" qube and mount the external drive containing the
wyng backup
5. Restore the images as follows:
a) list all the folders in the wyng repo
b) import each using --from and renaming to restored-${VMNAME}
c) for each lvrename the original volume (if present) to ${VMNAME}-old
d) lvrename each restored-${VMNAME} to ${VMNAME}
6. Restore the root snapshot to root-restored
7. Edit the xen.cfg in /boot replacing /dev/qubes_dom0/root with
/dev/qubes_dom0/root-restored
8. Umount everything and reboot
Unfortunately this did not lead to a working Qubes system for me. On
reboot, I enter the luks passphrase and the system does not load beyond
some Dracut messages. Perhaps it is wrong to use the root volume from a
different hardware configuration?
If so, what would be the Qubes/wyng way to restore a full system backup
to a new host?
