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

EXAMPLE

[root@vboxsrv:/space/vbox] # ./VBoxClone lala test
