#Export one user to another immich instance

My immich server has multiple users and I wanted to move one of the users to their own raspberry in their own house. I am not keen on having the raspberry pi process all of those photos again so I was wondering if it is possible to export only one user's photos and data in the database and the thumbnails instead of backing up immich and restoring it on the other computer.

Not really. Best you could do is restore the whole instance onto the pi and then delete the other users

Can I restore the whole db but then only provide the videos of one user? Is there a way to delete the other broken files. I thought there was a page in admission for that but can't find any info on it
