Hi, assume there are files stored in a qube without networking. Furthermore assume there's a secured backup server located in the internet. This server is only a storage of client-side (before data is sent over the wire) encrypted files. What options do you imagine to backup those files (skip the client-side encryption) to the server?
I can imagine the following options: 1. enable temporary the network with firewall restricted to the server for the (previously offline) qube Advantage: no inter-vm copying of files. Disadvantage: firewall rules must be setup correctly to avoid to bypass any other traffic like icmp/dns etc. I can imaging a potential information leakage due to enabling network access. 2. copy files temporary to another qube (dvm?) with a firewalled internet connection Advantage: files not being backed up can stay secured in the non-network cube. Leakage of data is reduced in comparison to 1. Disadvantage: can take time and needs additional disk ressources I've learned that you should always find at least 3 options, otherwise you haven't thought hard enough. Which options am I missing? Which option would you prefer and why? Best, Pete -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
