have you ever wanna copy one or more snapshots of vbox into a new vm machine? following is an example of how-to.
experiment environment
considering following cases:
- you have host1, logically or actually named MyWorkHost and having IP as 192.168.1.10
- you have host2, logically or actually named MyNewWorkHost and having IP as 192.168.1.30
- you have vbox installed in host1, and a linux guest installed in the box named UbuntuFromDengpan, and the snapshots looks like following:
- you have vbox installed in host2, better with higher version.
select the snapshot you wanna copy and place mouse on the button tagged as "clone"
in my example, I selected a snapshot named "UpdatedV8":
specify new vm machine's name
in my example, I specified "Ubuntu14_64Bit":
specify clone type
in our example, we want the clone to be portable, so select full clone:
specify need snapshot tree or not
in my example, I don't need the tree view, that is, I don't need all previous nodes/states/snapshots, so select "Current machine state":
wait and check the result
at last, we have a new vm machine, in my example, it have no previous snapshots, only a "Current State" like following:
copy UbuntuUbuntu14_64Bit.vbox and UbuntuUbuntu14_64Bit.vdi to \\192.168.1.30\UbuntuUbuntu14_64Bit
on copied, edit shared folder settings to make the new machine can find the shared folder; after that, power on the new machine and it will be okay on host2.
