Single click backup of QubesOS
Raw
backup
#!/usr/bin/env python
#
# Single click backup of QubesOS - beacause, really, there's no need to protect
# the password in dom0. If it's ever accessed, it was already game over.
#
# Author: Danny Fullerton - Mantor Organization
#
# Usage
# - Mod commands accordingly, e.g. filesystem, path, drive
# - Create a file in dom0:~/.backup.pass containing your password.
# - Create an AppVM called backup and assign the usb drive to it
#
