Step 4. Specify VM Size

At the VM Size step of the wizard, you can:

• Select a size and storage account for the restored machine
• Exclude specific disks from the restored machine

Selecting VM Size and Storage Account

To select a size and storage account for the machine:

1. In the Azure VM Configuration list, select the machine and click Edit.
2. From the Size list, select a size for the restored VM. By default, Veeam Backup & Replication selects the smallest VM size that can support the number of disks for the restored machine.

Make sure that you select the right VM size that corresponds to the initial machine configuration. The VM size affects the number of CPU cores, memory and disk resources that will be allocated to the restored machine. For more information, see Microsoft Docs.

3. From the Storage account list, select a storage account whose resources you want to use to store disks of the restored machine. The storage account must be compatible with the VM size you select.

The list of storage accounts contains only general purpose storage accounts. Blob storage accounts are not be displayed in the list of subscriptions. For more information about account types, see Microsoft Docs.

If you select a premium storage account, make sure that the VM size is compatible with the selected account.

4. Click OK.

To exclude specific disks of a machine:

1. In the Azure VM Configuration list, select the machine and click Exclusions.
2. In the Disks to restore window, select check boxes next to disks that you want to restore.
