Create and run a new container with ID "redis"
ctr run -d docker.io/library/redis:alpine redis
ctr run -d docker.io/library/redis:alpine redis
ctr images ls 'name==checkpoint/redis:cr-1'
ctr images ls 'name==checkpoint/redis:cr-1'
Restore container from checkpoint
Restore container from checkpoint with new ID (redis-debug)
ctr c restore --rw --live redis-debug checkpoint/redis:cr-1
ctr c restore --rw --live redis-debug checkpoint/redis:cr-1
