    How can i copy the snapshot to an azure storage account using az cli ?

    You can use the command below to copy the VM snapshot to an Azure storage account using Azure CLI.

    First, copy the VM snapshot URL from the portal:

    Azure Portal > Snapshots > select your snapshot > Snapshot export > generate URL.

    enter image description here

    Command:

    az storage blob copy start --account-name "venkat679" --destination-blob "abcd.vhd" --destination-container "test" --account-key "<Your account key>" --source-uri "<snapshoturl>"

    Output:

    {
  "client_request_id": "bc99xxxxxee-a269-00155df677e8",
  "copy_id": "xxxx",
  "copy_status": "pending",
  "date": "2024-04-04T06:15:30+00:00",
  "etag": ""0x8DC546EA152C803"",
  "last_modified": "2024-04-04T06:15:30+00:00",
  "request_id": "8xxxxx,
  "version": "2022-11-02",
  "version_id": null
}

    It takes some time to finish the copy process, and after some time, it will reflect in your storage container.

    Portal:

    The file has been successfully copied to an Azure storage container.
