Creating Backup Files

You can restore machines to Microsoft Azure from the following types of backups:

• Backup files of Microsoft Windows and Linux VMs created with Veeam Backup Free Edition.

• Backups of Microsoft Windows machines created with Veeam Endpoint Backup. Backups must be created at the entire machine level or volume level.

• Backups of Linux machines created with Veeam Agent for Linux. Backups must be created at the entire machine level or volume level.

You can restore a machine to the latest restore point or any previous restore point in the backup chain. A backup chain from which you plan to restore a machine must reside on a backup repository added to the backup infrastructure.

You can also import a backup to the Veeam Backup Free Edition console. For more information, see Importing Backups.
