Clone VM

Available as of v1.1.0

VM can be cloned with/without data. This function doesn't need to take a VM snapshot or set up a backup target first.

The cloned virtual machine inherits the source's basic configuration. You can choose whether to include the source's volume data, as well as customize the clone's name and run strategy.

Clone a Virtual Machine with Volume Data​

  1. On the Virtual Machines screen, locate the target virtual machine and select ⋮ > Clone. clone-vm-with-data.png

  4. Click Create.

Clone a Virtual Machine Without Volume Data​
