Import/export VM — at Initial Version

Description

Hi !

I prepare my VMs on my workstation and would like to transfer them on my laptop when I am outside. But I don't have enough place on my laptop to have all my virtual machines. A great feature would be to be able to export a VM and to import it on another machine. A VM includes:

  • disks
  • configuration
  • snapshots

I have tried to copy files by hand and to use VBoxManage registervm, but I get messed up with UUID (and then, cannot import the VM). The only solution is then to remove snapshots, copy VDI and then create a new machine. Losing snapshot is a pain.
