Scheduling OS Disk snapshot?

Hi Tan-9136,

Thank you for your question! Yes, you can schedule OS Disk snapshots in Azure by using Azure Automation or Azure Logic Apps. Here’s a simple way to set up weekly or biweekly snapshots:

Azure Automation:

Create an Automation Account in the Azure portal.

  Use a PowerShell Runbook with commands to create a snapshot of your desired OS disk.
  
     Set up a schedule within the Automation Account to run the Runbook at your preferred interval (weekly, biweekly, etc.).
     
     **Azure Logic Apps**:
     
        Build a Logic App that triggers on a set schedule.
        
           Add steps to authenticate with Azure and call the managed disk snapshot API for your VM’s OS disk.
           

Both methods provide flexibility and can be managed through the Azure Portal. If you’re not comfortable with scripting, start with Azure Automation, as there are many community scripts available for disk snapshots.

Best regards,

Jerald Felix
