Copy/Backup containers Intel to ARM: Failed creating instance record: Requested architecture isn't supported by this host

Hi,

I want to make container backups from a Intel server to my Pi 8GB with SSD. Both ZFS and the configuration is identical.

Is it possible to ignore or overrule the following error:
Failed creating instance record: Requested architecture isn’t supported by this host

This is for backups only. The containers obviously don’t run on the Pi.

If you use lxc export <instance> <file>.tar.gz then you can copy that file to wherever you want.

Then later copy it back to the source and do lxc import <file>.tar.gz to restore.

I ordered an Intel N5105 mini PC to do the copy. Problem solved.
