ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for increasing the efficiency of virtual machine processing. A parent virtual machine is provided on a host computer. The parent virtual machine is temporarily or permanently suspended. A child virtual machine is created at a new location by forking the parent virtual machine. The child virtual machine may not initially include all the stored data that is associated with the parent virtual machine.
