If you don’t do this, and you corrupt your VM, it’s going to be problematic to use the same licence to recreate the VM. As soon as you’ve activated a VM, it’s really important to take a copy of it and store it away for safe-keeping. ![]() Cloning I found not as useful as a backup for later versions of Windows (Windows Vista and above) as it changes the Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) on which licence activation is built. It saved a lot of time and effort in not having to build the VM again from the ground up. If I stuffed up, I could roll back to the snapshot and try again. If I was happy with the state of a VM, I’d snapshot it and continue experimenting. I found snapshots particularly invaluable. ![]() Cloning and snapshots are included with VirtualBox.
