No, it does nothing remotely.  The manual has an example showing how to
use it over SSH, but it’s just an example...

That’s possible, by passing ‘guix archive’ the list of profiles.

Even those not linked?  What for?  :-)

My reading of this is different: we need more/better tools to transfer
whole subsets of a store among different machines (remember we already
have ‘guix publish’ and ‘guix offload’ in that area.)

Once we have those, I think you may stop worrying about the database.  :-)

WDYT?
