        Copy the folder (watch out rsync flags) to

    Thank you very much. It nearlu worked.
    Anyway, it fails (in this case) because :
    Error: The storage pool's "default" driver "dir" conflicts with
    the driver "btrfs" recorded in the container's backup file


If you know how lxd use btrfs to create the container storage (using subvolume?), you can probably create it manually, and rsync there.

Or you can create another storage pool, but backed by dir (e.g. 'lxc storage create pool2 dir') instead of btrfs/zfs.

Or yet another way:
- create a new container
- take note where its storage is (e.g. by looking at mount options, "df -h", etc)
- shutdown the container
- replace the storage with the one you need to restore

Thank you, I think to that.
But what is sure is that my "old" container is labelled as btrfs and after rsync on a "non btrfs" volume, the btrfs label remains....
