where <code><server-name></code> should be replaced with the name of your server. This action will only include the VM's root drive (e.g. /dev/vda) in the image. Ephemeral drives and non-boot attached volumes will not be included in the image so additional measures should be taken to preserve this data. In addition, if the VM is writing to disk while the image is being created the file system may be captured in an inconsistent state. We recommend the VM be shut off (not deleted) before an image is created from it. | where <code><server-name></code> should be replaced with the name of your server.
