Detailed Description
This cmdlet restores VM backups to Microsoft Azure.
You can restore to Resource Manager and to Classic accounts. Select the appropriate parameter set for each account model.
|
You must select the Microsoft Azure configuration options that supports the VM you restore. For example, if you restore a VM that has 4 disks, select an Azure VM configuration option that supports 4 or more disks. |

VmName | Specifies the VM name. The restored VM will have this name. If you do not specify a new name, the restored VM will have it's original name. | False | Named | False | False |
Reason | Specifies the reason for performing restore. | False | Named | False | False |
GatewayServer | Specifies the gateway server. The restore process will use this server to transfer the VM data to the Microsoft Azure datacenter. If you skip this parameter, the restore process will use Veeam backup server as a gateway server. | False | Named | False | False |
Credentials | For restoring backups located on a network shared folder. Specifies the credentials to authenticate with the network shared folder. | False | Named | False | False |
Wait | Indicates that the command waits for the process to complete before accepting more input. | False | Named | False | False |
CloudService | For Microsoft Azure Classic accounts. Specifies the existing cloud service. The restored VM will be added to this cloud service. If you skip this parameter, the cmdlet will create a new cloud service for the restored VM. Use the DNSName parameter to set the name for the new cloud service. | False | Named | False | False |
DNSName | For Microsoft Azure Classic accounts. Specifies the name of the new cloud service. If you skip this parameter, use the CloudService parameter to place the restored VM to an existing cloud service. | False | Named | False | False |
Endpoint | For Microsoft Azure Classic accounts. Specifies the port number. This port will be used to connect to the restored VM. If you skip this parameter, the cmdlet will use the default port numbers: For Windows VMs: 3389. For Linux VMs: 22. | False | Named | False | False |
