Right now the only way to do that is creating a new empty datablock image,
and attaching that image instead of a volatile disk. The image can be
persistent, or it can be saved to a new one with a deferred disk snapshot.

Please open a feature request for volatile disk persistence and we will
consider it for future releases.

Best regards
