Cloning an existing Delphix Engine by using hypervisor VM cloning features or by copying existing Engine storage to a new virtual machine is currently not supported. You can choose from multiple methods for backup or duplication of an Engine.

Important note for Oracle TDE-enabled VDB
When planning any backup or recovery operation involving Oracle TDE-enabled VDBs, be sure to back up not only the Oracle TDE wallets/keystores but also the Delphix Toolkit TDE artifact directory (<toolkit_directory>/oracle_tde_keystores/). Loss of this directory can make TDE-enabled VDBs unrecoverable, even if the keystore and wallet files are backed up.
