[Lxc-users] Regarding Checkpoint and Restore support in LXC

Hello,

I was reading about the Checkpoint and Restore support in LXC but I am bit confused with the current state of the implementation of the same.
At present, I am using version 0.7.5 and in that version , I can see utilities like lxc-checkpoint, lxc-freeze and lxc-unfreeze. But when I open the man page of lxc-checkpoint,
it is mentioned as - "not implemented yet".  Does that mean that its implementation is not complete?
Moreover, I found a URL- http://criu.org/LXC which talks about CRIU tool and how it can be used to put checkpoint and restore containers. 

My question is - Which tools should one use i.e, whether CRIU or those that are available with lxc package?

Please also let me know about the platforms that are supported? Is it possible to run these tools in ARM based platforms?

Thanks and Regards,
Souvik
