Upss, turned out we don't have a developer-level documentation of our backups infrastructure (and call me a conservative, but qubes-devel threads do not count as a documentation!).

Things we should cover:

  1. Backup threat models:
  • traditional: backups coming malicious USB/disk/NAS, verified using digital sig
  • paranoid: backups made on a compromised system (upcoming post on this)
  1. Implementation (diagram-level description):
  • in Qubes 3.x
  • in Qubes 4.0 (using AdminAPI, will be partly covered in the upcoming post)
  1. Backup formats
