where <code><server-name></code> should be replaced with the name of your server. The command only includes the VM's root drive (e.g. /dev/vda) in the image. This means that ephemeral drives and non-boot attached volumes are not included in the image and additional measures should be taken to preserve this data. In addition, a running VM which is writing to disk while the image is being created, may leave the file system in an inconsistent state. It is recommended that a VM be shutdown (not terminated) before an image is created from it.
