VirtualBoxは仮想マシンの管理を設定ファイル等ではなくVirtualBox側でも行っている。（どういうマシンがあって仮想HDDがどこにあるか、など）
HDDのコピーや仮想マシンのコピーをするときには、VirtualBox側がその変更を把握する必要がある。
そのため、単純な仮想マシンのファイルコピーでは何もできないという問題点がある。
これは仮想マシンを配布したりバックアップしたりするときには大きな問題になる。ような気がする。
VBoxManageのGUIなフロントエンドを作ればだいぶ楽になるから小さい問題になりそう。

clonevdiオプションでコピーを作成するとエラーが出る。対策は後で考える。
