I'm trying to get to grips with [Incus](https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/introduction/) , because it looks like it is a fork of Canonical's LXD, which I can run fairly easily on Debian 12 with a deb package, rather than using snaps.

that I want to take a stateful snapshot of, but it tells me that:
> To create a stateful snapshot, the instance needs the migration.stateful config set to true

incus config set test migration.stateful=true
incus config set test config.migration.stateful=true
incus config set test.migration.stateful=true
incus config set migration.stateful=true
