Hi Folks, Ive done a search but must be using the wrong terminology. - Whats the best way to convert a physical mac mini into a virtual machine image. - E.G. clone a physical box.

Thanks
 
Hi StuartY,

We have an option of migrating Windows from a PC or importing Windows from the BOOTCAMP. If you like to use a Mac VM with all applications on your real Mac, then create a Mac VM. After creating the VM use the time machine backup and restore everything inside VM.

Thanks,
Ajith M.

correct your going to have to use a system image of your mac mini to restore it to a virtual machine.
So a bare mac OS X VM should be created then connect your time machine drive ( or another system imaging software that runs on mac such as acronis) and restore the image of your mac mini
