Hello all
I'm planning to use "azure backup" to backup my VMs on premises, to a local storage.
Then I'll upload the image to the cloud storage too.
Is it possible restore one of this VM as cloud VM using the image from the cloud storage?
Thanks

    Hi,

    It is possible to restore VM in the cloud. You need to create a managed disk from the image file and then you can use the disk to create a VM:

    Hope this helps!

    Hello @Stefano

    Yes, this is possible by restoring the backup copy to a resource group in Azure.

    You can read more about the process here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-arm-restore-vms

    Hope this helps with your query,

    there is any issue if the backup is made using Azure Backup on premises, then restore it from cloud storage using Azure Backup in cloud? I think about encryption. Could it be an issue?
