How to create an incremental snapshot in Azure

Azure VMs can save time and disk space by creating incremental snapshots instead of full snapshots for point-in-time backups of managed disks. This backup method records all changes since the last backup, resulting in a smaller and more efficient backup file. Incremental backups are especially helpful for VMs with infrequently changing content, as they save costs on storing and transferring data while reducing egress and compute bills. You can configure incremental snapshots on Azure portal or using the CLI.
