When you have move the snapshot to a new location (region), you can easily create a disk using the portal. Start-AzStorageBlobCopy -AbsoluteUri $snapshotaccess.AccessSAS -DestContainer $StorageAccountBlob -DestContext $DestStorageContext -DestBlob '$($vhdname).vhd' -Force -ErrorAction stop $DestStorageContext = New-AzStorageContext –StorageAccountName $storageaccount -StorageAccountKey $StorageAccountKey -ErrorAction stop $snapshotaccess = Grant-AzSnapshotAccess -ResourceGroupName $SnapshotResourceGroup -SnapshotName $SnapshotName -DurationInSecond 3600 -Access Read -ErrorAction stop $snapshot = Get-AzSnapshot -ResourceGroupName $SnapshotResourceGroup -SnapshotName $SnapshotName $StorageAccountKey = (Get-AzStorageAccountKey -Name $StorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $StorageAccountResourceGroup).value $storageaccountResourceGroup = 'ResourceGroupNAME2' $StorageAccountBlob = 'StorageAccountBlobNAME' $SnapshotResourceGroup = 'ResourceGroupNAME1' If you do not have a Storage Account created in the target location, you need to create it. Finally, the name of the created disk image. We give its name, the name of the BLOB to which the disk image will go, and the name of the resource group in which it is located. Before running the script below, you need to correct the variable names in it.Įnter the name of the snapshot you want to move and its resource group.
