How to Create a Disk Image on a Linux VPS?

Creating a disk image on a Linux VPS can be useful in many situations, such as quickly restoring your system after a crash or for convenient server cloning. This article will guide you through the process of creating a disk image on your Linux VPS.

First, open a terminal on your Linux VPS and execute the following commands:

  • sudo su — to switch to the superuser mode
  • dd if=/dev/sda of=/path/to/image.img — to create the disk image

Please note that creating a disk image will copy all data on the disk, so ensure you have enough free space available.
