Correction, I must be still sleeping, but of course you can't mix the approachs as mentioned above, because they are polar opposite approaches to either include everything "except", or no VM's "besides only a few". My bad. Also the python code which the new backup tool is based on, as python code's natural nature I believe, does not give easy to read error messages. So even a simple typo, like in the path, or forgetting '' marks in paths with space or special letters, etc. may give you a complete python error that does not give any hints as to what went wrong. So if it doesn't work, try look for typo's in the command, especially if you're sleepy in the early morning or late night. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
