When you use the built-in backup tool, you can include dom0 in the
backup. This backs up your /home directory, which is where most
configuration files in Linux are saved.
Upon restoring dom0 from a backup, the existing contents of /home will
be moved to a new directory in /home (named something like
"old-dom0-{date}"), and the contents of dom0 from the backup will be
placed in /home.
If you have configuration files (or any files) outside of /home in
dom0 that you want backed up, I recommend copying them to /home before
using the built-in backup tool.
For example, I make sure to back up copies of my Qubes RPC policies.
In the future, we plan to include files such as these in the backup
automatically:
