Cloning VM + SnapShops..??

I want to completely clone a VM with all its SnapShots Included...

So once the cloning is done i can just restore to a snapshot without having to power on the 2nd VM and reconfigure all my settings ect..

How can I do this..??

Copy the complete directory of the VM.

On first boot of the VM disable network temporarily and change hostname and IP.

If this is a Windows VM you may also want to run newsid.exe before you enable network again.
