Download VHD Azure

Question

I have an Ubuntu server on azure but I'm out of credit and want to download the disk to my local machine.

When I go into the portal -> disks > myDisk

I can a web address to a vhd file. If I try to go to it directly it says Authentication failed.

How can I download the vhd file?

Answer 1

I used the Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer to grab my VHDs.

It's a free cross platform app by Microsoft that let's you download from your storage accounts in any subscription.
