By the looks of it, they made a default profile that does not include dom0 or the templates. I have a similar problem, by the looks of it, it is identical to yours. Which means it's probably an issue that either covers all RC-4 --> RC-5 updates, or all RC-5 in general. For I can only suggest two choices, either include VM's instead of exclude (since include works correctly and disables the new default profile), or use backup profiles, by typing all your inclusions, and then save the profile for future use. Just remember to update your profile when making new VM's in the future, it'd fatal if it wasn't included in the profile. If you haven't done include before, it's the same as with -x or --exclude, except you just write the VM's name with spaces between, no attributes needed. To make a profile, you can use the --profile (please consult the manual "man qvm-backup", as there are some dom0/domU situations to be aware of when using the two different profile flags). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
