Can we have a script for complete VM which include data disks as well.

[@omunt]

is it possible to have the script take a snapshot of all disks of a VM? so not just from os disk

[@omunt]

I allready made the script :-)

[@AComputerGuru]

Is there reason for taking snapshot of data disk as well?

[@omunt]

@@AComputerGuru yes, we would like to snapshot the complete VM (just like with Vmware). If we need to roll back, we need to do this with the complete vm.

[@shubhamraut8622]

@@omunt where is it? is it the same script?

[@omunt]

@@shubhamraut8622 no.. i made a new script

[@erickesfutbol]

Hi, Can these runbooks or snapshots only be executed if the VM is stopped or can they be scheduled while the VM is active?

[@AComputerGuru]

Yes it can be done in both states.

Do you need to update the script every time you deploy additional VMs? I want to make it so that it creates a snapshot for all existing VMs in the subscription. Is that possible?

[@AComputerGuru]

Yes, in this script i have manually given the VMs details. so if there is no change in the VMs list then no need to make any changes in the script.

[@valp8198]

@@AComputerGuru how can I make it so that it doesn't need to be updated every time I add new VMs?
