Incus Container Snapshots 

Very interesting, and seems to be useful in a lot of instances

I can see that i need to use a second system for testing, but I detest change, and am looking for a way to use other systems on my local network just as if I was sitting in front of them with my displays and keyboard and mouse. I use a keyboard that was manufactured in the late 80's, a Northgate Omnikey 102, which has the function keys where they belong, on the left in of the keyboard so my pinky finger knows all of the shortcuts, and of course has a separate number and arrows section, not to mention weighing in at about 4 pounds or so, maybe more, it is not going to get dropped or pushed off of anything by an adventurous cat or something. I really hate that MS had such a stranglehold on the industry that they prevailed upon keyboard makers to add a "Windows" key. I can never remember the actual keystroke represented by that key, and since it appears in millions of places in tutorials and installation procedures, it is quite annoying, to say the least. But, I digress! My thoughts on the snapshots is that they would be very handy to use to make images of a basic incus container build to the point before you add anything application specific to the container. It would shorten the process to load that image already configured with the ubuntu server, the updates, and more importantly the programs you and I always want to add, like curl, net-utils, nano, etc.

What would be your recommended way to make a full backup of a incus container to be stored externally? Assuming the process would be repeated every x days or so.
