robertobech,

if you want to backup to some specific folder, it has to be visible and mounted by qemu.

In Linux, this is piece of cake, you just mount that directory as virtual fat:

Code Sample

-hdc vfat:rw /home/my_ubuntu_user/dsl_backups

then append this parameter:

Code Sample

dsl restore=hdc

In windows, it is more complicated as the vfat directory can only be mounted as read only.

If you want to transfer your backups to a windows folder you must use either samba or ftp.

Thanks A LOT for all your answers. Now I'm starting to understand how DSL and QEMU really works. Sorry if I posted too many questions on such a short span of time, but I'm really excited about DSL.

I'll check the links right now, pr0f3550r, thank you.

FYI,

you can "mount" your virtual hard drive using most other Linux distributions.

You would mount it like DSL does, as a loop image file. Something like this:

mkdir /mnt/loopdrive
mount -o loop -t ext2 harddisk /mnt/loopdrive

Then you go to /mnt/loopdrive and your files should be there.

You will most likely need to be the "root" user account in order to do this.
