How to Clone Virtual Machines on VirtualBox

Thursday, February 7, 2013
If you want to use more than two virtual machines with the same configuration on VirtualBox, just install one by one. However, this costs lots of time. Instead, I found out how to make a shortcut.

Mothod 1: Use "VBoxManage Clonevdi" command


Method 2: Copy file Win2k3.vdi into Win2k3_clone.vdi and later change UUID.

VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid Win2k3_clone.vdi

The last thing to do is create new virtual machine and the clone disk which is just created.

 

Have fun!
