How do I transfer Arch from one user of win10 to another user?

[GitYun]

I installed WSL2 Arch in win10 user "user1" before, and now I have another user "user2", but I still want to use WSL Arch of the "user1" in "user2", what should I do?

Hi @GitYun
I think there are two ways.

You can back up your file system and restore it to user2.

1. Please run this command in user1 to backup:

Arch.exe backup

2. Please copy backup.tar.gz or backup.ext4.vhdx and restore it in user2:

Arch.exe install backup.tar.gz

Arch.exe install backup.ext4.vhdx

If you want to use one system in common (a little dangerous)

1. Give user2 full access to the ArchWSL installation directory.
   (Note: If you use AppX pkg, it's C:\Users\{Your-User-Name}\AppData\Local\Packages\yuk7.archwsl_35zwpb4sx6e50\LocalState)
2. backup registry file in user1

Arch.exe backup --reg

3. restore registry file in user2 (Please double-click reg file)
