home-backup.qcow starts overwriting itself after the first reset

Open miklevin opened this issue 10 years ago • 0 comments

To make resetting Levinux totally safe against losing any code you might want to preserve in your ~/home folder, the reset scripts need to detect the presence of prior home-backup.qcow files and increment version numbers on the save. Until then, only the first time you run the reset scripts will keep your work safe, there is a danger of overwriting on subsequent resets. Until this is fixed, I recommend manually renaming your home backups, or alternatively creating entirely new Levinux instances with a folder-copy or new unarchiving of the zip.
