You need to ensure that:

a) The machine you extract this archive onto has the same distro and
installed package as the one you originally built upon
b) That you extract it to the same path

I would note that:

a) If you don't use the same distro, files can move around, library
versions change and so on. It may work or it may not. We support fresh
builds in this configuration and installs via sstate and some kind of
compatibility matrix but not direct copying.
b) We support relocation of the system using sstate, not by copying.

Cheers,

Richard
