guix archive copies via ssh it appears. Would it be an idea to use rsync instead with the --delete switch. That way a copy is efficient and faithful. You really want the same package quaranteed. I trust guix, but I don't trust systems.
You give an example of copying profiles. How about copying a store with and without profile linked packages? That is use case: - copy all current packages in use on the server (in profiles) and use case: - copy all files, even those not linked to profiles and up for GC When that works that would be the way forward, but it does not drop my wish for being able to regenerate the database.
