Before You Begin

Before you begin restore to Microsoft Azure, check the following prerequisites:

• Check limitations listed in section Considerations and Limitations for Restore to Microsoft Azure.
• You must create a backup of the workload that you want to restore in Microsoft Azure. For the list of supported backups, see Restore to Microsoft Azure.
• A backup chain from which you plan to restore a workload must reside in a backup repository added to the backup infrastructure. You can also import a backup to the Veeam Backup & Replication console. For more information, see Importing Backups Manually.

• You must configure the following objects in Microsoft Azure beforehand:

• Storage account whose resources you plan to use to store disks of the restored workload.
• Networks to which you plan to connect the restored workload.

• Make sure that you configured all the required components and accounts in Veeam Backup & Replication as described in section Configuring Components and Accounts for Restore.

• [For speeding up restore from Capacity Tier] It is strongly recommended to use Azure restore proxy appliance when you restore from backups residing on a Capacity Tier. For more information on Azure restore proxy appliances, see Managing Azure Restore Proxy Appliances.

• You must set up correct time on the backup server. Otherwise you may not be able to add a Microsoft Azure Compute account or Microsoft Azure Stack Hub Compute account to Veeam Backup & Replication, or the restore process may fail.
