Hi@akhtar,

A snapshot is a full, read-only copy of a virtual hard drive. You can take a snapshot of an OS or data disk VHD to use as a backup or to troubleshoot virtual machine issues. You can use the below-given command to create an empty snapshot.

$ az snapshot create -g MyResourceGroup -n MySnapshot --size-gb 10
