Hi Hazel, I just wanted to confirm that this is exactly what I do with my toolchain on occasion. I am in the process of writing an automation script for the full LFS-8.0 build (tailored to my machine/circumstances), and frequently use the backed-up toolchain to test the progress of the automated build. You do not need to create the lfs user when using your backed-up toolchain.
