NAME
VBoxClone - clones virtual box vms with autogenerated settings
SYNOPSIS
VBoxClone <source> <destination>
DESCRIPTION
this bash script duplicates virtual box vms to new vms with all settings
beside of the mac addresses of the network adapter. this behavior should
emulate VMWare's "clone vm".
BUGS
plenty.
TODO
- we need to sysprep windows vms (new SID)
- more sanity checks
