When I verify my backups, it happens ~instantaneously. It used to take hours, because it would extract every VM backup and verify it. Judging by the logs, it's only verifying dom0.Unless something has changed with how Qubes verifies its backups, there may be a bug that causes verification to only check dom0, rather than verifying the AppVMs as well. This is really bad, because what I care about is the data in the AppVMs... being able to restore the AppVMs is more important than being able to restore dom0! Here's how I back up: ``` nice qvm-backup \ --verbose \ --passphrase-file $PASSFILE \ --exclude $IGNORE_VM \ --dest-vm $DEST_VM \ --compress \ --yes \ $BACKUP_DIR ``` And here's how I restore: ``` qvm-backup-restore \ --dest-vm $DEST_VM \ --passphrase-file $PASSFILE \ --verify-only \ --verbose \ $BACKUP_FILE ``` When it starts restoring, it shows that none of my VMs will be restored, except for dom0: ``` The following VMs are included in the backup:------------------------+--------------+-------------------+-----------------+--------+ name | type | template | netvm | label | ------------------------+--------------+-------------------+-----------------+--------+ dom0 | AdminVM | n/a | (default) | black | myvm | StandaloneVM | n/a | my-net-vm-xxxxx | orange | <-- Excluded from restore my-other-vm-xxxxxxx | AppVM | debian-10 | (default) | blue | <-- Excluded from restore another-vm-xx | AppVM | fedora-33 | (default) | green | <-- Excluded from restore[... continuing for the list of all VMs ...] ``` And in fact only dom0 gets verified, the others seem to be ignored.
I cannot seem to reproduce this. My verify-only attempts also verify domUs. I'm using the same qvm-backup-restore command, just without `--verbose`.
