Copy linked cloned images

Post by jlanza »

Hi,

I would like to know how to copy linked cloned images. I have copy both the src and the linked cloned. I'm able to boot the orginal but the cloned complains that the path is incorrect. Any idea?

I've done it by editing the vbox file of the source virtual machine and setting the correct path to the cloned VM hard disk.

Do you know if it is possible to do so graphically without editing the file by hand?

Use a text editor to correct the path in the clone's .vbox file? Make a backup of the file first.
 Edit:  Your second post crossed with mine. No, there is no GUI feature for editing file paths in VMs.
