Thank you, you solved my problem, i can mount the disk now What should i backup? I mounted: /dev/qubes_dom0/root, went to /var/lib/qubes/appvms/ and it shows all my vms, but i open any folder and theres only 2 files: Firewall.xml, and icon.png What should i backup? Is there another folder i can get the files from my vms? Thank you, i will make a backup using qubes so this doesnt happen again -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] BACKUP IMPORTANT VMS Q4
Hello, im using qubes os 4, i updated all the VMs + updated dom0 When i turned on my pc, Qubes os didnt get recognized at boot menu, i have tried a lot of things and now im tired, i just want to backup my vms and i will make a fresh install. I have saw a lot of tutorials but im not that familiar with disk partitions, logical volumes etc. Can someone please tell me step by step how to backup the important vms? I have tried mounting the drive to a live system but i cant mount it, i always get this issue: mount: /mnt: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'. Encrypted partition with all vm data: /dev/sda I cloned the disk in case something goes wrong.
