Is it possible to clone a virtual machine using VMware Fusion on Mac OS X? I'm trying the 30 day evaluation version but there doesn't appear to be a clone feature. I tried using the Finder to copy a VM's package structure but the copy didn't appear in the Virtual Machine Library.

I don't know fusion in detail, but in VMWare Server you can just copy the files somewhere else.

A:
Just use File->open to open the copy of the VM. It will probably ask you if you want to change the VM's unique ID. If you plan to run both the original and the clone at the same time, and it's not a Windows OS that needs activation, you should say yes.
