VirtualBox Cloning a Virtual Machine

For future reference

cp mymachine.vdi mynewmachine.vdi

won’t work due o the uuid of the disk so ….

cd ~/.VirtualBox/HardDisks
VBoxManage clonevdi mymachine.vdi mynewmachine.vdi

Then go through the steps of creating a new machine but specify the new vdi image as the disk rather than creating a new one.
