Restoring a backup of Core X3 backup to virtual

[ctrlXnovo]

I was working with a ctrlX CORE X3 in the field, using v1.18.1 apps.  I backed up my system before leaving, creating a .tar file.  I would like to restore this image to a virtual CORE on my PC so I can review it later.  Is this possible?

I tried restoring the real X3 controller image to a virtual but I get an error that says "Process aborted with error. Snap architecture missmatch"  

My guess is that this is a problem with the arm64 vs amd64 apps.  Is there a way to resolve this so I can review my field project virtually on my PC?  (I'm using ctrlX WORKS v 1.18.1 for both the real and virtual.)

Hello ctrlXnovo

With the function Backup/Restore it is not possible to change the HW-architecture (ctrlX X3 <-> ctrlX X7, virtual).

With the setup function the development is working on a way to do this.

I am trying to do the same. I have a backup of the CtrlX core X3 and I want to have a copy of it on my CtrlX Core Virtual. 

I have done that the other way around and I can confirm it can be done. I worked on a CtrlX virtual and after that, made a backup and coppied it into the physical controller. 

Are there any updates on the Setup function?

Please beware that new setup features were only be integrated in ctrlX OS version 2.6 and will be in later versions. Have a look to the related official online documentation "ctrlX CORE Runtime 01VRS, Application Manual" and "ctrlX OS, Operating System for ctrlX CORE Control Devices 02VRS, Application Manual".
