Restore to Microsoft Azure

Veeam Backup & Replication allows you to restore machines from Veeam backups to Microsoft Azure. You can use Veeam Backup & Replication to complete the following tasks:

• Restore machines from Veeam backups to Microsoft Azure.
• Migrate machines from the on-premises infrastructure to the cloud.
• Create a test environment in the cloud for troubleshooting, testing patches and updates and so on.

You can restore machines from the following types of backups:

• Backups files of Microsoft Windows and Linux VMs created with Veeam Backup & Replication. You can use backups of VMware vSphere VMs or vCloud Director VMs.

• Backups of Microsoft Windows machines created with Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows. 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.

• Backups of EC2 instances created with Veeam Backup for AWS.
• Backups of Nutanix AHV VMs created with Veeam Availability for Nutanix AHV.

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 & Replication console. For more information, see Importing Backups.

For restore to Microsoft Azure, Veeam Backup & Replication can employ the Microsoft Azure Resource Manager or Classic deployment model. Veeam Backup & Replication supports batch restore — you can launch the restore process for several VMs at a time.
