I am trying to copy sites from one LXD to another - both running BTRFS. The normal “lxc copy” command uses btrfs send/receive which is terribly slow. Since rsync works much, much faster, is there a quick way to create the container “shell” on the remote server (and register it with LXD) and then manually rsync the data over?<br>

As an aside; I think LXD should allow the user to specify which copy tool to leverage when doing the copying. Is that possible?<br>
