As a disaster recovery drill, I backed up, wiped my drive, and attempted to do a full restore on top of a fresh Qubes install to see how i'd do in a nightmare scenario.

Other qubes were restored properly, but my dom0 barely restored. All XFCE panel settings were gone. I had to reinstall u2f proxy and some others I previously installed, yet select appearance setting remained.

I thought a restored qube was a bit-by-bit recreation of the qube. Isn't it?

Is this expected? Has anyone else experienced what I did? Yes, I replaced the user folder with the one installed by the fresh install.


Frankly, I was very unhappy with the experience. I have, however, restored 99% of what I had prior to the drill with a lot of work. Thankful that my other qubes were ok and I hadn't done
