For more information about the transfer process, please refer to the block “How do I move a virtual machine to another location?“ in the article “Virtual machine details General Info“
6. Clone: You can clone your Virtual machine to another Virtual machine with the same configuration and OS. Your data is also cloned over exactly like the source Virtual machine

Notice:

• You may have menu items disabled in cases if you try to perform actions for the virtual machines with states for which they are not allowed. For example - you can not reboot a shutdown virtual machine.
• The list of the “Actions” menu can change according to the statuses of the selected Virtual machines. As an example - if you have a VM with the status “BUSY” among selected, you will only have the delete option virtual machines in the “Action” menu.
