Hi team,
I have backed up the system state and bare metal of a Linux VM on Azure stack hci using host-level backup.
While restoring, a Copy to the network folder was used as a recovery type. After successful recovery, I tried to create a Virtual Machine using the recovered VHDX file but seems like the vhdx file is not usable.

Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused.
Can you locally mount that vhdx and see what partitions and data it has, to confirm if it seems valid?
What do the VM Settings for the recoveredVM you have created say? (Especially in the Firmware section)
Looks like your recovery VM was set up as a Gen2 UEFI VM,
Are you sure the original system was Gen2 ?
