Or if you happen to have a network share on the other computer, mount it and specify it as output folder. Might not work flawlessly.

Btw, if you're going to use a VDI on a different computer, you don't need to clone it. A simple file transfer is enough. Cloning only needs to be done if you want to use the VDI twice on the same computer in two different VMs.

One problem, one topic. And please, if you ask a question, be sure it makes sense. Use Google Translate if you don't know English that well.
