As a workaround, it can be done manually:

Warning: the below steps have to be done at your risk

1. Log in to the SolusVM 2 admin panel
2. Create a new VPS with the same resources as the source VPS
3. Stop both VPSs from SolusVM 2
4. Find the UUID of both VPSs:
   

   Get Hypervisor ID of VPS in SolusVM 2 > Virtual Servers:

    
5. Find the image path for both VPSs 
   
   • Source:

     # virsh domblklist <source_UUID>
     Target Source
     ------------------------------------------------
     sda /var/lib/libvirt/images/39/468c2ba5ab8b70016908b774297966ef
     hdb /usr/local/solus/iso_images/39/config.iso

   • Destination:
     

     # virsh domblklist <destination_UUID>
     Target Source
     ------------------------------------------------
     sda /var/lib/libvirt/images/46/f9616495b867f6b3c65fa7fb7b833128
     hdb /usr/local/solus/iso_images/46/config.iso

   Note: the above command outputs are examples - they will be different on another server

6. Rename destination image:

   # mv /var/lib/libvirt/images/46/f9616495b867f6b3c65fa7fb7b833128{,.orig}

7. Copy the source image into the destination:
   

   # qemu-img convert -O qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/39/468c2ba5ab8b70016908b774297966ef /var/lib/libvirt/images/46/f9616495b867f6b3c65fa7fb7b833128
