I want to take an existing VMWare virtual machine and run it in VirtualBox 2.2+. Is there any utility to do this?

There's a tutorial on using qemu tools and vditool to do that here.

I don't think there's a utility as such, but you can load vmdk files in VirtualBox, so you can create a guest with your vmdk as one disk, a vdi as another, then boot up a Linux CD and use dd to copy from one to the other.

I don't know if VirtualBox now has support for vmdk snapshots. If so, you can use the vmdk file as is, without converting to vdi, and sacrifice no functionality.

  1. In your VMWare virtual machine, install Acronis and do a backup. You will get an image file.

  2. Run VirtualBox with the Acronis Recovery iso. Restore from previously created image.

Acronis isn't free though.
