+system. When transferring the checkpoint, it is possible to specify an output-file.

+On the source system:
+```console
+sudo podman container checkpoint <container_id> -e /tmp/checkpoint.tar.gz
+scp /tmp/checkpoint.tar.gz <destination_system>:/tmp

+```console
+sudo podman container restore -i /tmp/checkpoint.tar.gz
