Is there a way to automatically create snapshots of a virtual machine in azure?
Im not a developer and I dont want to write code to access an API, etc.
Its pretty easy to do in Amazon EC2, its just a checkbox.
Im just looking for a simple process to create a daily snapshot or backup of my VM.
How do other people do it?
Thanks
Unfortunately not as there is no automatic way to do it on daily basis as you described. As your other question on how other people do it, you can use Windows Azure PowerShell command line tools directly from your desktop to create snapshot using save-azurevmimage while your VM is still running and the VM image will be saved to your Azure Storage.
