Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, Marek, but I just tried restoring one
of my backed up AppVMs, the directory of which was symlinked to a
secondary drive at the time of the backup, and the restored AppVM
contains all of my user data. (So, it appears the backup was not only
a symlink; rather, it contained my actual data). Does the issue you
are describing arise when only the private.img file is symlinked
(rather than the whole AppVM directory being symlinked)?
