# simple script to clone a virtual machine (vmware)
# to another datastore/folder.
# usage: ./clone_vm.sh <source path> <destination path>
# source path must be a directory and contain a virtual machine (at least a single .vmdk file)
# destination path must a directory, preexist and be empty (to avoid overwriting another machine)
# sources:
