thin pools are plain linux tech, nothing qubes specific. and you can back them up in whatever way you want, from whatever distro/system you want. or not back them up at all, and simply attach the disk to some other system. it is not trivial to use the _qubes_ backup tooling outside of a qubes system. but besides that, they are just blockdevices with filesystems inside. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
