Hi Ludo,

I don’t understand what’s going on there unfortunately. Is there a high-level
explanation somewhere in the manual?

Nope, that does not seem to be enough. After pulling on master doing the same
on a node (with a patched guix) yields:

---snip---
ice-9/eval.scm:293:34: Throw to key `srfi-34' with args `(#<condition 
&store-connection-error [file: "ssh://master.<domain>" errno: 95] 
7f0f325f77b0>)'.
---snap---

Any ideas?

I assume:                        ↑

That means `guix time-machine` could not go back beyond a commit that fixes the
issue, correct? Not a concern for me.

The store is the same on all machines, since /gnu/store, /var/guix and /home
are all shared via NFS. As far as I understand the manual `guix copy` would be
useful for store to store transfers on different machines only.
