Nix-copy-closure to path

Help
1

I’d like to do nix-copy-closure to a folder instead of a machine (for instance because I don’t have a good internet connection to the machine but I can easily mount the disk or to backup stuff).

What is the best way to do that?

If you do not mind using the experimental CLI:

$ nix build .#blog
…
$ nix copy .#blog --to $(pwd)/store --no-check-sigs
$ ll store/nix/store
