freebsd vm on azure - how to backup the vm as an image

[Chris Knight]

Howdy,

Not tried it, but if the FreeBSD VM has the Azure Agent installed on it,
then you should be able to get crash-consistent image backups (and maybe
application-consistent image backups if the Azure Agent + the integration
components support the application-consistent backup framework) using Azure
Backup.
