Hi, i will try to move a vm1 from system1 to system2.
sys1 ans sys2 are 2 separate proxmox systems, i will use the vm1 also in the sys2.
So how can i do it?
Can i move the files from the storrage to the other storrage?
Can i add the raw images manuel in the vm?
Other ides?
 
Hi,

you can either backup the VM, transfer that backup and restore it on the second machine.
Or you can try (live-)migrating it directly using qm remote-migrate.

If you search a bit on either your favourite search engine or here in the forum, you'll can also find plenty of threads regarding both methods
:)

I was going to say the same thing make a backup copy , a VM is self-contained so all your data should be contained within the backup .
BUT ......... don't forget you are making a COPY , the mac address , names , etc will all be copied .
so use the thick box which say unique , if you want a unique copy/clone .
