Query on Snapsht

Hi All,

I am using the PowerShell syntax below to take snapshots of Windows VMs. Will the current syntax use an incremental or full snapshot? I want to use a full snapshot. Additionally, I would like to take snapshots of Linux VMs. If I change -OsType Windows to -OsType Linux in the syntax, will it work? Does specifying -OsType Linux cover all Linux distributions (e.g., Red Hat, Ubuntu, SUSE, etc.)? I am currently using the snapshot naming format -Format MMddyyyy. How can I modify this to achieve a format like Nov102024 instead of 11102024? Please guide me.

$VmName = "WinVM01"
$VmResourceGroup = "myrg01"
$vm = Get-AzVM -Name $VmName -ResourceGroupName $VmResourceGroup
$loc = $vm.Location

#VM Snapshot

Write-Output "VM $($vm.name) OS Disk Snapshot Begin"
$snapshotdisk = $vm.StorageProfile
$OSDiskSnapshotConfig = New-AzSnapshotConfig -SourceUri $snapshotdisk.OsDisk.ManagedDisk.id -CreateOption Copy -Location $loc -OsType Windows
$snapshotNameOS = "$($snapshotdisk.OsDisk.Name)_snapshot_$(Get-Date -Format MMddyyyy)"

# OS Disk Snapshot

try {
    New-AzSnapshot -ResourceGroupName $VmResourceGroup -SnapshotName $snapshotNameOS -Snapshot $OSDiskSnapshotConfig -ErrorAction Stop
} catch {
    $_
}
     
Write-Output "VM $($vm.name) OS Disk Snapshot End"

# Data Disk Snapshots 
 
Write-Output "VM $($vm.name) Data Disk Snapshots Begin"

$dataDisks = ($snapshotdisk.DataDisks).name

foreach ($datadisk in $datadisks) 
    {

    $dataDisk = Get-AzDisk -ResourceGroupName $vm.ResourceGroupName -DiskName $datadisk
    Write-Output "VM $($vm.name) data Disk $($datadisk.Name) Snapshot Begin"
    $DataDiskSnapshotConfig = New-AzSnapshotConfig -SourceUri $dataDisk.Id -CreateOption Copy -Location $loc
    $snapshotNameData = "$($datadisk.name)_snapshot_$(Get-Date -Format MMddyyyy)"

    New-AzSnapshot -ResourceGroupName $VmResourceGroup -SnapshotName $snapshotNameData -Snapshot $DataDiskSnapshotConfig -ErrorAction Stop
    Write-Output "VM $($vm.name) data Disk $($datadisk.Name) Snapshot End"   
    }

Write-Output "VM $($vm.name) Data Disk Snapshots End"
