Step 3. Select Deployment Model

At the Deployment Model step of the wizard, select a Microsoft Azure deployment model that you want to use to restore the machine.

• Select Azure Resource Manager to use the newest Microsoft Azure deployment model. Veeam Backup Free Edition will employ Microsoft Azure Resource Manager API to restore machines to Microsoft Azure.
• Select Classic to use the classic Microsoft Azure deployment model. Veeam Backup Free Edition will employ Microsoft Windows Azure Service Management API to restore machines to Microsoft Azure.

The Azure Resource Manager option is preferable. Microsoft Azure recommends that you deploy all new workloads using the Resource Manager model.
