Just use the same MAC address as the LXC.
That gets updated under the network section and edit the MAC address. Can I just start the container or do I need to reboot?
Just copy and paste your LXC mac to the VM mac, make sure the LXC isnβt running, then start the VM.
Great, one more question if you donβt mind. I current have a HUSBZB-1 stick I use for both zigbee and zwave. When I created the LXC containers this just passed in or at least I donβt recall do anything special for it. I assume Iβll have to add that in the VM or should it passthru?
In the hardware section on the VM just add the USB device
I have created the new VM and set all the parameters but before I fire up the VM, if I change the MAC ID to the old LXC container and it comes under my old ip addr I assume Iβll have to install samba as an addon first which will allow me to restore my snapshot? Will I need to use the same credentials as previously (username/pw) for samba or does that not matter?
At the onboarding page you can upload your snapshot there. Just give it plenty of time to restore before freaking out. 
Ran into this error -> TASK ERROR: KVM virtualisation configured, but not available. Either disable in VM configuration or enable in BIOS.
Guessing itβs better to see if this can be enabled in the bios or does it matter?
I enabled the virtualisation in the bios and it came up however even though I changed the MAC ID it did not give it the correct ip address in my router. Iβll try setting this in the router.
Did you copy and paste? I tried typing mine one time, got it wrong 3 times. 
I typed it but doubled/tripled checked. I have since changed the ip in my router and the onboarding page came up and I entered to restore the full backup which took me back to the onboarding page. Is this where I need to be patient or did something go wrong because it looks like I would have to reenter the backup snapshot or create a new account agaiin.
You lost me. At the onboarding page (at the bottom) It has a link to upload your snapshot.
You did download your snapshot from your LXC?
It came up but I am getting an error that HACS isnβt working and it seems the sub zigbee/zwave stick isnβt recognized. Guess I could try reinstalling HACS but how do I troubleshoot the usb??
EDIT ***** NVM the usb finally came up. Just need to rectify HACS now.
Did you add the 2 usb devices under hardware? 1 for zigbee and 1 for zwave? I donβt have the HUSBZB-1 stick, be I understand that it creates 2 usb devices.?.
It seem to be only one as both my zigbee and zwave are working. Itβs just the HACS now that I need to figure out. HACS shows as unavailable. Should I delete it and re-add or will that mess up my current settings and add-ons from hacs?
I have no advise on that. But, if you goof it up, you still have your snapshot to fall back on.
Interestingly HACS doesnβt seem to be an option from the snapshot unless itβs buried in one of the other items listed
Local add-ons
Hitting this error in the log which is not allowing hacs to start. I asked over on the hacs discord and was told it is an installation issue. I asked in the HA discord installation_supervisor channel but havenβt received a reply yet.
Would anyone know what this error means?

Searched but couldnβt find anything useful
Itβs not an addon itβs a custom_component in the Home Assistant configuration
Thank you for clearing that up. I always assumed ( I know) it was the custom_components because Add-on: was listed separate. Now I know!
