I took a multipass snapshot of my docker vm with the following command

multipass snapshot  "docker" --name "docker-snapshot" -vvvv

How can I move the snapshot to another machine and restore it there.
I am on windows 11.

I’m afraid that transferring a Multipass snapshot to another machine is not something that Multipass currently supports. Hyper-V, for example, has additional files outside of Multipass’s control, which makes this process unlikely to work reliably. VirtualBox might offer some possibilities, but it’s not an officially supported approach.

I'll update the issue type from bug to enhancement to reflect this. Thank you for opening an issue about this!

Disappointed. I will have to start afresh on my new Dev machine. Thank you @levkropp
