Clone Support

Reported by: David Abrahams Owned by:
Component: other Version: VirtualBox 4.0.8
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: other

Description

Support for cloning things is weak:

  1. VBoxManage clonehd is painfully slow
  2. There's no GUI interface to it
  3. There's no interface at all to cloning whole machines (with all settings) other than exporting to an .ova and reimporting --- which is slow

Status: newclosed
  1. Cloning a hard disk is always slow as the complete virtual disk image needs to be cloned (i.e. read + written).
  2. Duplicate of #449.
  3. Duplicate of #5853.

w.r.t. #1, I just checked it against doing a regular file copy, and I think you're right: I just overestimated the speed I could expect from my hardware. Sorry for the noisy ticket.
