backup/snapshot a vm image (vhd) in windows azure

This is Linux-centric, but there's another one for Windows VMs, too.


You can backup the blob of the VM's VHD using the Blob API, and then restore it, thereby overwriting the current OS VHD to an earlier version. Haven't tried it myself, but the docs suggest it's possible.
