Snapshots is a point-in-time backup feature that captures the state of an Azure managed disk at a specific moment. Snapshots provide a quick and efficient way to create backups of virtual machine disks, helping organizations protect data before updates, migrations, or system changes.
Designed for data protection and operational flexibility, Snapshots can be used to restore disks, create new managed disks, and support backup and disaster recovery strategies. With incremental snapshot capabilities and seamless integration with Azure storage services, organizations can reduce storage costs while maintaining reliable recovery options.
