If you launched the backup from Qubes Manager, check ~/.xsession-errors. > More info: > > I made a bacup using the 'System' -> 'Bacup VMs' menu entry in the > Qubes VM Manager and then I tried to restore it with the 'System' -> > 'Restore VMs from backup' menu entry.

But if it isn't the case after symlinking /var/tmp, check messages in ~/.xsession-errors. If still nothing interesting, you can launch restoring (or verification) from command line (qvm-backup-restore), with --debug switch. - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
