But now I know how it does it, I will just build a unit for that to work for the one I use as well, not just the default. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

It looks like the Qubes Manager has an internal app for backup in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/qubesmanager/backup.py, that manager the window-based wizard, and uses the generic backup tool in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/qubes/backup.py to get the job done. At the beginning of the latter I can see some definitions like "DEFAULT_COMPRESSION_FILTER = 'gzip'", I think you may want to check there. The compression filter defined there is passed to the command line of various tar executions with --use-compress-program=%s. I don't think it is intented to be actually changed by users via the GUI, but the fact that it has been moved to a definition at the beginning of the file and that it is named "DEFAULT" may indicate that is is intended to be customizable in a possible future extension. -- Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Altering the backup engine.
Hi folks, Any davs here able to tell me how to set Qubes Manager default to use a different archiving method other than gzip ? gzip is the default, but I don't know how or where to change it in the manager code, I've tried to find the command it uses, but I'm unable to find the command anywhere. Either I'm not looking in the right place, or the command isn't what I believe it is. Please help? Sincerely Drew. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
