Creating copy of Virtual Box instance

I had faced  problems in creating a same copy  of the VB system .
I tried to do by creating a copy of the hard disk and adding it to the environment. This will not work since the copied will has the same hard disk identification of  the source .
I was able to solve this issue using the command “VBoxManage clonevdi ”
you need to give the full path  for the files eg

VBoxManage clonevdi  /home/itsupport/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/PBX1.vdi /home/itsupport/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/PBX2.vdi

, otherwise it will throw an error
