Cloning is neat. I use it extensively, but I've run out of space on the drive I reserve specifically for virtual machines.
Is there a way of telling VB that I want to store a clone of a machine on another drive preferably one that doesn't involve editing XML files (though that would be better than nothing) ? There doesn't seem to be a way of specifying the "destination" when you clone.
TIA

Can I get VB to store my clones on another drive?

If you select a different drive/path for the "Default Machine Folder" (*) in File | Preferences then that folder is where new clones will go. Existing VMs are not affected.
(*) That's from memory, wording may not be exact - I don't have access to my VBox PC right now.
