If the architectures are the same, copying the .sup directory should
work and is probably the best way of ensuring everything is
synchronized. If the architectures are different, then this becomes a
Ferret question, and I don't really know the answer. Sup-dump should
work in the worst case, but will definitely be slow, and you'll also
have to manually synchronize the other files in .sup/ like sources.yaml,
contacts.txt, etc.
