Thanks all for the help...making progress...really appreciate the responses
As I continue to explore the new 4.1rc3 another issue comes up that I
can't remember experiencing with 4.0 and it seems important:
When I try to back up my system and insert a WD external hard drive I
get an error when I try to mount it, specifically "Error mounting
/dev/sda1 at run/media/user/easystore: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs3,ntfs'
Backing up Qubes OS to NTFS seems a bad idea to me. Why not use a
dedicated medium/partition formatted with a unix filesystem like xfs?
- I tried both USB ports, same error
- I tried multiple hard drives, including the one I used with my 4.0
setup, same error
- I see the device in my sys-usb but the error comes when I try to mount
the device
- I can mount a small USB drive and transfer files but when I put in a
large disk the error occurs
- I tried backing up on a 32g thumb drive and it started to back up but
then errored out with the following: "ERROR: Writing backup to VM
failed: cat: write error: File too large (I use a dedicated VM for my
email(Thunderbird) which has a lot of emails.
- Never had this problem with my 4.0 set up
- I googled and found similar issues but nothing with a solution
The above is my biggest issue right now but also had a few other questions:
- USB-C doesn't seem to work? Not a big deal but I can't mount a USB-C
thumbdrive(in all fairness I was using a regular USB and used a dongle
to convert to USB-C). I found an old thread that mentioned USB-C isn't
supported in Qubes...
- My Thunderbird VM(dedicated VM to email) seems to constantly be
downloading emails (I remember this from my 4.0 set up and it eventually
stopped) but I have a large number of emails. Is there a better way to
manage this? Can I some how save these emails with out deleting them? I
changed "Private storage max size:" to 30g...not sure this is right but
seems to make sense. I also changed Initial memory to 500MB and Max
memory to 5000MB in an effort to add more resources to my email VM
The lack of being able to back-up is my biggest concern...

Yes.
VT-D settings look OK. Qubes will warn on install if something
required
is missing.
Anybody try using a vTPM or TPM Simulator with Qubes?
My machine came with a "software TPM" which only works under Windows
apparently. I had previously looked at Xen vTPM but somehow could
not manage to get it to work under Qubes. I can't be the only one
out there without a TPM, so I just wanted to ask if anyone else had
looked into a virtual/software replacement yet.
