You may want to have a look at
https://www.cs.ait.ac.th/~on/technotes/archives/2015/01/30/how-to_clone_a_freebsd_virtual_machine_on_vmware/index.html

Igf you forget the part about virtual machine, the part about cloning is
there and quite complete.

I wrote that as a guide for myself, putting my personal notes one a nice
page, so I can refer to it whenever I need it. But if it can help you.

Best regards,

Olivier
