Diagram
A decision tree that guides the selection of an Azure VM restore method, branching on recovery goals such as full VM rebuild, disk recovery, or granular file restoration, and noting special handling for encrypted VMs.
Restore Methods and Options
The method for initiating a restore depends on the recovery goal. Create New Virtual Machine rebuilds a complete VM from a point, while Restore Disks recovers virtual hard disks for manual attachment, such as to an Availability Set. For granular needs, Item Level Restore (ILR) is the most efficient way to recover specific files or folders without a full rebuild. Key options include Full VM Restore, Disk Restore, and File Recovery, which mounts a recovery point as a local drive.
