Cloning a running VM

Esxi 6.5

Is it possible to clone a VM while it is running ?

The goal is to have a ready-to-replace VM in case of major failure.

As VM is a VoIP PBX, there are no changes in VM files rather than logs and minor changes so cloned VM has not to be "identical" strictly speaking.

Is a simple copy to another datastore location possible ?

Any suggestion ?

 

Thank you
