February 2, 20179 yr I just installed unraid and played around with the VM feature. I setup a VM with CentOS , fully configured. I then went to copy the img file (using Windows Explorer) into another folder. Then I created a new VM, pointed it to the new image folder. However, I am unable to boot the VM, it either stuck at "Booting for hard drive" or says "Boot Failed. EFI Misc Device" Is there a way to clone a VM or how do you backup a VM and successfully restore it?

February 3, 20179 yr Author Thank you, I have a backup setup. Do you know how to make an image and clone it instead of having to setup a VM from scratch? I tried copying the image and updating the XML but I still get errors.
February 3, 20179 yr I use Krusader (downloadable via community apps) to duplicate a vm img file. I have done the following for win10/osx with success: Once img is duplicated, click the vm tab, select a template, for Primary vDisk Location change to manual and navigate to the new img location. Finish setting up the remainder of the vm template. Then launch. There maybe better ways, but this works for me.
July 4, 20188 yr I'm trying to do as you said. But it does not work for me. Every time I try to clone a VM the new one will just start up ready to be installed. I'm trying to close Ubuntu and Debian.
