[Cloud Service] Alibaba Cloud server image backup to local

​First
, let us understand the functions of custom images on the Alibaba Cloud platform. By customizing the mirror, users can save the current state of the cloud server as a mirror, so that they can be quickly restored to that state when needed. In addition, the custom image can also be used as a template to create a new cloud server, which is convenient for users to quickly deploy servers in the same environment.

1. Log in to the Alibaba Cloud server management console.
