Hi

there is no automated deploy wizard. I would make a backup and restore this again and again. afterwords make sure that you not have identical host MAC addresses and other internal keys, depending on the OS you are installing - ssh keys, etc., also for deploying windows this is not as easy it sounds. I am not a fan of deploying this way as there are always some issues inside the cloned OS which are not always visible immediately.

maybe the initial image does not contain a network card, so you work around this host MAC duplication.

see vzdump and qmrestore.
