Describe the problem you're observing.
Hello. I tried to configure pulling the backup from remote client to local backup server. The problem is that local backup server have ARM architecture, while remote client is AMD64. When I follow the documentation I get in troubles when I map remote folders dev proc sys to local and try chroot, I get ‘/bin/bash’: Exec format error, most likely because remapped folders are for different architecture.
This part of documentation won't work. Is there any workaround for pulling backup from different architecture? I can create ssh tunnel from local to remote, but not vice versa.
# Mount important system directories and enter chroot.
cd /tmp/sshfs
for i in dev proc sys; do mount --bind /$i $i; done
chroot /tmp/sshfs
Can you reproduce the problem? If so, describe how. If not, describe troubleshooting steps you took before opening the issue.

IIRC there was a different approach with socat/netcat or so, check docs / issue tracker.
