Hi everybody, I'm new in this Forum, and new i nvirtual box.

I work with virtual box at the factory and sometimes when I work at home.

I have a PC with virtual box at the factory and one with virtual box at home.

My problem is that every time that I work at home, I have to install the programs that I need in my virtual machine.

It can be possible to take an screenshoot of my factory PC and then save it in my house PC?

Assuming the work VM was created with VBox V3 (or at least before v4), then the easiest thing is to copy the VDI to your home PC and create a new VM around it. You don't mention an OS - I'm assuming that your various software licenses allow what you want to do. A Windows image for example may require reactivation before it works at home, and that potentially gives you licensing issues with the work copy - and so on.

If the VM was created by VBox v4 then porting would be much easier.
