Brief summary
I caught this when using
wyng-util-qubes
(reported there), but during the investigation have found that this occurs with the standard Qubes backup tool, too. Below in "Actual behavior" you see a dom0journalctl
log fragment during backup restore of a single qube (gpg-vault
) using the Qube Manager. AFAICT there is no negative side effect from this error and I wouldn't have found it if it didn't make thewyng
code crash. Some time ago I may have used paranoid mode to restore this qube, which is perhaps where it got thecreated-by-disp-backup-restore
tag, but I'm not sure; I definitely didn't give it that tag manually or with own tools; after this latest restore using the qubes tool, its tags are:So the putatively problematic tag was indeed restored together with other tags; the
restored-from-backup-at-2023-09-03
tag is odd, as I've restored this qube several times since then.Removing the
created-by-disp-backup-restore
tag, backing up the qube, deleting it and restoring it from the new backup again gets rid of the error.Steps to reproduce
(Presumably) 1. Restore qube from backup using paranoid mode (or perhaps give it the
created-by-disp-backup-restore
manually)2. backup that qube
3. delete it and restore from that new backup
