Seems like a very odd way to copy it to me. I would use Gparted or
Clonezilla or something myself. But you have not told us the whole
story here.

Where the h3ll did Virt-manager enter the picture?! You never
mentioned that before!

Please make the effort to give us the whole story. Nobody wants to
play guessing games what you are running or how.

Read this, understand it, and use it.
