I have a VM (ID 100) running some container on stored on a RAW drive (disk1)

I've setup a new VM (ID101)with the major update released and wanted to try docker on it:

I need to copy VM100 disk 1 to VM101 disk 1.

How may i easyilly achieve this?

Many thanks for your support

As you wrote in the title, you clone the container. First clone, then update it.

Thanks for your reply,

I may have asked my question wrong:
I'm looking to copy a drive file and add it to another VM: not a clone of the VM as it has other drives and not a backup as it can't be added to an existing VM (if im not wrong)

Thanks for your time

This is a risky and manual process. You will need to edit the vmid.conf files. Some action done through our management stack may alter the config again.
