Creates a backup of the specified disks or volumes. If neither the --disk parameter nor the --volume parameter is specified, the command backs up the entire machine.
Backing up the entire machine is highly recommended when you perform a single-pass disk and application backup (i.e. specify the --application_aware parameter). Otherwise, application data may be backed up incompletely.
