Restore a snapshot on a new instance

I just wondering if it's possible to restore snapshot in a different instance.

For example:

I have an instance named "bluey". I made a snapshot of "bluey" today with name "bluey-new-home".

1 year late. I created a new instance named "bingo". Can I restore the snapshot "bluey-new-home" to "bingo" instance?

The reason I ask this is because my multipass instances crashed quite many times and they were not repairable and recoverable. So I thought the best solution is to make a snapshot as soon as I created the instance with all softwares installed and configured. Then save a snapshot of the instance at that time.

If the instance ever crashes, I can use the snapshot to quickly rebuild a new instance withint a minute.

All solutions and opinions are welcome and appreciated!
