[SOLVED] cloning a vm including snapshots

Post by Jurgen1 »

Hey forum,

I want a very simple thing but I can't seem to find how to do it. I want a command that I can throw against VBoxManage that will take an existing vm and make an exact replica of that vm under a new name. clonevm doesn't seem to include snapshots so it doesn't work for me. What do I need to do?

thanks,
Jurgen

User Manual, Ch. 8.9 VBoxManage clonevm. Use the "--mode all" option.
