I just didn't understand how it went about it, it actually calls the qvm-backup from there. so it's already set up, but I don't think the program will use what I want because the tool I use is working differently for the passing of data to be compressed. But now I know how it does it, I will just build a unit for that to work for the one I use as well, not just the default. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
