DEar all :
i have double bhyve vm hosts, the old and new . do you know a fast and good way to transfer my vms from old host to new host ? the double vm hosts are freebsd14.1 . thanks.

What I do is just shutdown the vm on host A, copy the files over (I use scp) to host B and then start it.
It might not be fast and elegant, but it sure is reliable.

The old VM file might be sparse (sequences of NULLs not occupying space). To preserve that you use `rsync -S ...`
