Clone Virtual Machine

VirtualProg allows you to quickly clone an existing virtual machine, creating an exact duplicate that can be renamed and optionally assigned a new MAC address.

🧭 How to Access

You can open the Clone Virtual Machine dialog by:

  • Right-clicking a virtual machine in the Control Center
  • Selecting Clone from the context menu

🖥 Dialog Options

Name

Specify the name of the new cloned virtual machine. This name determines the directory and display name in the Control Center.

New MAC Address

This checkbox (enabled by default) generates a new MAC address for the cloned VM’s network interface.
Uncheck it if you want to preserve the MAC address of the original virtual machine.

💡 Notes

  • The cloned VM will include all configuration and disk content from the source.
  • You can modify the clone’s configuration after creation by selecting Configuration from the Control Center.

✅ Cloning is useful for testing, development environments, or backing up a working configuration.
