This is a typical scenario: Use eSATA external harddisk to store a vm, and move it around a few different hosts for testing. What's the best way for this? Export/Import as Virtual Appliance seems to be overkill. Is it possible to extend the settings xml file a little bit, e.g., add a path attribute for the virtual disk file. If still no uuid attribute yet, then register the hard disk? VM also auto registers when xml file is first opened. a simple way to store everything (inclduding snapshots) into a single folder, then can open the vm on another pc, would be nice. - hl

I couldn't find a better way, everytime I basically need to re-create the vm with the disk files on a different pc. Is it possible to use a single xml file? with all disk files in the same dir._______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list vbox-dev@virtualbox.org http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
