Hi!

I'm looking for a possibility to restore only 1 AppVM from a system backup. I could find this by studying the parameters of qvm-backup-restore. Seems that it performs a whole system restore (only to choose between with or without dom0).

Any ideas or suggestions?

Best, P.

You can specify the intended VM(s) after the backup file argument:

$ qvm-backup-restore /foo/qubes-2020-10-27T123456 vm1 vm2

For some reason the manpage doesn't mention this syntax, but it's
shown in 'qvm-backup-restore -h'.
