I have a Linux VM running in Azure and need to create a copy of this server for test purposes. I read http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-linux-capture-image/ however don't want to deprovision this server becasue it needs to remain in production. Downtime is not an issue, as long as I can restart the production server afterwards. I don't feel comfortable with deprovisioning my production server and then use the template to create a new production server.
