Well in that case you can do the following in a dom0 terminal (assuming the name of your AppVM you want to get files from is my-appvm): # create a mount point to access the disk: sudo mkdir /mnt/private # make the private volume of the appvm accessible !!! notice the doubling of the dash in the AppVMs name (naturally not applicable if your AppVMs name does not contain a dash) !!! sudo losetup -f —show /dev/mapper/qubes_dom0-vm—my—appvm—private # use the loop device the last command printed to the screen (i.e. /dev/loop2) to mount the AppVMs private volume sudo mount /dev/loop2 /mnt/private # now you should be able to copy whatever data you want to save cp /mnt/private/home/user/* /some/place/save/ Hope that works out for you!

Isolated was added because at this point, your AppVM is receiving the same level of trust as your desktop Dom0. So don't do this is your internet connected untrusted VM. >> Lastly, as my laptop drive is smaller >> than my desktop drive, would I be able to selectively copy/mount to my >> laptop appvm or would I need to go another route? When copying data off you would need a drive of that capacity, but to mount, see files and modify them, there is no copying, it's all done on the original drive. > > btw, on my desktop, I am still able to access a dom0 terminal and can > connect to an external drive (I think), so can i just cp the appvms to > an external drive and then extract the contents of the critical appvms? By default the AppVMs are LVM volumes, making it a bit hard to just copy them. If it still works, the Qubes backup tool would be the easiest way to do this. Otherwise, "isolated AppVM" is interchangeable with dom0. You could mount them and pull off your files manually, though this may compromise Dom0 with anything untrusted in the AppVMs. > > Sorry, the mount from other os page is a bit over my head hence my > attempting to find options that I can understand :/ Maybe once this is sorted, we could use this thread to improve that document. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
