Cloning a Virtual Machine Cloning a Virtual Machine
A clone is a copy of a virtual machine. You can do anything with a clone that you could with the original virtual machine.
Installing and configuring a guest operating system with applications can be time consuming. With clones, you can deploy many copies of a virtual machine after only one installation and configuration process.
The Clone Wizard guides you to copy everything required to operate a duplicate virtual machine. You don't have to locate the original virtual machine files or directories. The Clone Wizard automatically creates a new MAC address and other unique identifiers for the duplicate virtual machine.
Refer to Cloning a Virtual Machine for more information regarding clones.
