The level of panic I just experienced was huge just now when all of my Qubes backups, going back years, could not be restored. 😳😱

Suffice to say, there's some important stuff on there...

But it's cool, I have it restoring now.

It was either an intermittently bad cable or flakey USB-C port on this new motherboard.

I'm sure as hell not going to touch it now that it is restoring! Once it's done, then I can investigate further to see what's not working and if it's the cable, I'll give it to my worst enemy. 😈
