I was just wondering. Is it possible to get a VM on Google Cloud Compute (for e.g.) and be able to mitigate the security issues caused by not being the owner of the metal/hypervisor. If, say, you run an https enabled apache instance, the ease of creation/setup, ability to later scale and

[qubes-users] Bug in qubes-backup or tar?

Emergency recovery of backups as described in https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/backup-emergency-restore-v3/ states that tar should be able to unpack a qubes backup file. It seems that qvm-backup produces a corrupt tar file, or the included tar has a bug. It seems to include data, but only one file

[qubes-users] Xen high CPU usage, but nothing is running in the VM

What CPU usage does Qubes Manager show? I guess is shows low CPU usage. Do you see any other symptoms of high CPU usage like heat or fan activity? I guess the Xen just allocates some CPU time for some VMs, but the time is not used. As a result, xentop seems to overestimate actual CPU usage.
