In other words, I would treat the new Qubes installation as completely new and use qvm-backup-restore as the only mechanism for migrating my old data to the new installation. This is the only way I would be confident that I weren't screwing anything up. Using the sorts of shortcuts described below might save time, but I don't know enough about them to be confident that they wouldn't result in mysterious problems that only manifest later, requiring troubleshooting that wastes more time than was initially saved. If I were feeling experimental, I might try out some the unknown shortcuts first (since I have everything safely backed up), then reevaluate based on the results of my experiments. > But my current system has two additional (slower) disks attached for > storage of larger App VMs (thin storage pools).
