Clone your template-VMs, then backup all the cloned templates and AppVMs. Clean install, restore backups. But what about dom0? I did now several modifications of dom0 for using i3 (some scripts, own config, changes in qubes-i3-sensible-terminal to change the order of terminals since $TERMINAL just doesn't want to stick). I know I can back it up but how would I restore it onto a clean install? Especially after a new release is available where a clean install was recommended in the past. NielsWhen 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: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1635
