Is is possible to backup or take a snapshot of a VM created with the Azure preview portal in a Resource Group (not classic/CloudService-based ones)? These new VMs are not visible from the old portal, so I cannot use Azure Backup, and the VM blade does not show any option to capture it/take a snapshot.
Thanks in advance!

Have not seen a snapshot function in the new portal either. The preview portal is still in development, so I would have an eye on it.
In the meantime you can use PowerShell as a workaround. Here are two PowerShell samples: a) how to make a snapshot and b) how to make a blob copy.
