. I only make clone template when I'm going to install extra software. In case it borks something or is shady. For example I have cloned template for disposable vm, where I install printer drivers. One for personal vm's that I installed libre office. One for sys-usb and sys-net.
Most my trusted vms use standard templates. I use both debian and fedora. one for less trusted trusted, one for more trusted trusted. Having alot of templates is a real resource hog and a pain to update. I feel its more important to compartmentalize with appvms rather then get caught up in having multiple templates. Unless you are going to be installing alot of software or testing with them. When I backup. I don't backup templates. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
