How do you clone a Windows virtual machine? Also, how do you backup it up to
another box, a windows box? Also how do you add a seconds cluster so you
migrate it?

Cloning is not implemented on the web interface.

But you can do it manually:

1. Make a backup via vzdump
2. Restore to a different VMID
3. Adapt the hostname/ip settings to avoid duplicates (regenerate ssh keys
etc.)

Pls note, cloning is not recommended on most situations as you also
duplicate ssh keys and other settings which should be unique. Better way is
to make a template like these:
