But my main problem and I guess many other Qubes users that we don't know what exactly what is LVM and pools :-) This seems like a Qubes-oriented Howto page could help. It could tell the user to check the disk space widget in the systray (if it says "LVM" then you're using it). But also, thin LVM is the Qubes default so its one of those "if you have to ask, then you've got it" things. :) Keep in mind that its a new program that currently only works from the command line, so its not at a point where its useful to everybody.

Maybe I am stupid, but maybe I am not alone with that :) Under Requirements & Setup there is a brief example of initializing a Wyng archive and adding a volume. I don't yet have a walk through specifically for Qubes, but I have a draft howto that is geared toward a regular Linux system: https://github.com/tasket/wyng-backup/wiki/Using-Wyng-for-incredibly-fast-incremental-backups-from-LVM Deciding how to use it in dom0 depends on several factors, such as whether you need to add encryption to the archive (Wyng v0.2 does not encrypt data). The Readme suggests a general method for Qubes that sets up a net-accessible encrypted container, but you can also simply mount a LUKS volume from sys-usb local storage (i.e. attach a sys-usb partition to dom0, then in dom0 format/use it as a LUKS volume). -- Chris Laprise, tas...@posteo.net https://github.com/tasket https://twitter.com/ttaskett PGP: BEE2 20C5 356E 764A 73EB 4AB3 1DC4 D106 F07F 1886 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] ANN: Wyng beta, a fast incremental backup tool
Hello Qubers, 'Wyng' is a backup program I've been working on for a while that can quickly backup "thin LVM" storage, the kind Qubes uses by default: Link - https://github.com/tasket/wyng-backup Some ideas behind Wyng are: * Backups shouldn't require re-scanning all data to find changes. * Ability to push new backups to an archive indefinitely on a frequent basis. * Low exposure to risk for admin VMs like dom0. * No special matching filesystem (Btrfs, ZFS, LVM, etc.) needed to store the backup copy. The intent is to enable similar use cases as OS X Time Machine does (frequent, convenient backups) but for Linux and Qubes. Wyng runs in the admin VM and deals with data volumes such as "vm-personal-private" or "vm-fedora-30-root" at the block level. I should point out that version 0.2 does not have a concept of backing up and restoring whole Qubes VMs, as it doesn't process VM settings. If you do not have many specific custom VM settings, this shouldn't be an obstacle. However, Wyng does have special Qubes transport modes that allow backing up data from dom0 to wherever via a VM. The README at the above link has more info about Wyng's capabilities, command line examples and the current beta testing status. If you have questions, feel free to post here. -- Chris Laprise, tas...@posteo.net https://github.com/tasket https://twitter.com/ttaskett PGP: BEE2 20C5 356E 764A 73EB 4AB3 1DC4 D106 F07F 1886 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
